Förlagets beskrivning
Are Asian cities, like many cities around the world, becoming "post-political"? Were they ever "political" in the first place? How have relationships between government and civil society developed in Asian cities? In answering these questions, this book examines the relationship between the state and civil society in a wide range of Asian cities. It demonstrates how democratic politics have become foreclosed in contemporary Asian cities, and explores how this situation can be overcome. The contributors review state-society dynamics, focusing on the discourses and mobilizations surrounding issues of heritage and environmental governance. These two distinct yet inter-related urban themes are construed by city governments and civil society actors as essential components in building more sustainable and `livable' cities for the future. A valuable resource for students of politics and political geography in Asia, and of Urban Geography and Urban Sociology
