Paperback. Condition: Good. 430 pages. Cover faded. Name on ffepIn a major new book, Luci an W. Pye reconceptualizes Asian political development as a produ ct of cultural attitudes about power and authority. He contrasts the great traditions of Confucian East Asia with the Southeast As ian cultures and the South Asian traditions of Hinduism and Islam , and explores the national differences within these larger civil izations. Breaking with modern political theory, Pye believes th at power differs profoundly from one culture to another. In Asia the masses of the people are group-oriented and respectful of aut hority, while their leaders are more concerned with dignity and u pholding collective pride than with problem-solving. As culture d ecides the course of political development, Pye shows how Asian s ocieties, confronted with the task of setting up modern nation-st ates, respond by fashioning paternalistic forms of power that sat isfy their deep psychological craving for security. This new pate rnalism may appear essentially authoritarian to Western eyes, but Pye maintains that it is a valid response to the people's needs and will ensure community solidarity and strong group loyalties. He predicts that we are certain to see emerging from Asia's accel erating transformation some new version of modern society that ma y avoid many of the forms of tension common to Western civilizati on but may also produce a whole new set of problems. This book r evitalizes Asian political studies on a plane that comprehends th e large differences between Asia and the West and at the same tim e is sensitive to the subtle variations among the many Asian cult ures. Its comparative perspective will provide indispensable insi ghts to anyone who wishes to think more deeply about the modern A sian states. Editorial Reviews Review [A] rich and stimulating analysis which will be the subject of much scholarly debate.?Fore ign Affairs An extremely lucid, informative, and valuable work t hat meets a long-standing need for a readable and comprehensive v iew of the methods and cultural foundations of exercising power a nd authority in Asia.?Choice Pye's thesis is that as social psyc hology cannot be properly understood unless it is embodied in a c ontext of individual psychology, so the phenomenon of power canno t be understood without reference to the cultural context within which it exists. Pye contends that those political scientists who study the nature of power have erred in treating it as a univers al concept. Central to Pye's thesis is his contrasting of the W estern concept of individual autonomy with the Eastern concept of dependency on an idealized, benevolent, authoritarian leadership . Closely reasoned and brilliantly argued, this is a superb contr ibution to the international political debate.?Kirkus Reviews Ab sorbing reading. It is written with a flair and dash that carries one along. Reading it is like following the figures in a richly textured tapestry. Pye's mastery of this variety of complex cultu res is impressive. It rings with authenticity.?Gabriel A. Almond, Stanford University A broadly gauged analysis of contemporary A sian politics. This study is a fascinating mix of in-depth data a nd basic theses, both intra-culture and cross-cultural in nature. It will provide the basis for stimulating discussion and further research.?Robert A. Scalapino, Robson Research Professor of Gove rnment, University of California, Berkeley About the Author Luci an W. Pye was Ford Professor of Political Science at the Massachu setts Institute of Technology and author of Mao Tse-Tung: The Man in the Leader.
