Comparative Politics of Southeast Asia

Focusing on the political systems of ASEAN countries and Timor-Leste, this textbook offers a detailed comparative analysis of governance across eleven states, including both democracies and autocracies. Each country study delves into political institutions, party and electoral systems, and the legal and administrative frameworks. It also examines democratic transitions, autocratic persistence, and the roles of civil society and media in shaping political culture, making it a valuable resource for students of political science and regional studies.
