This groundbreaking interdisciplinary work delves into the complex dynamics of Asian civil society under authoritarianism, a regime type that has resurfaced or intensified after decades of political liberalization. By structuring its analysis into four central themes, this volume offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of the challenges faced by civil society in these contexts. These themes encompass actions taken under political repression, transitions to democracy, the emergence of uncivil society, political capture, and legal control. Through in-depth examinations of a diverse range of Asian nations, from "hard authoritarian regimes" like China to "electoral authoritarian regimes" like Cambodia, as well as addressing countries experiencing democratic regression, such as the Philippines, the book sheds light on the diverse experiences and responses of civil society in the region. By highlighting concrete initiatives and strategies adopted by civil society under authoritarianism, it contributes to the reimagining of Asia as a dynamic and interconnected formation, fostering new theoretical insights into state-society relations in authoritarian regimes. This book is a vital resource for students and scholars of civil society, authoritarianism, and Asian politics, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between states, societies, and the forces shaping political landscapes in the region.
