Description

Explore the complex social and cultural landscapes of Asia through a rigorous academic lens. This volume from the Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought examines how Western philosophical debates regarding individualization, reflexivity, and identity apply to the Asian context. As late modernity increasingly focuses on the implications of identity and intimacy, this work provides a necessary bridge between Western theory and Asian reality. The author examines significant social theorists such as Beck, Giddens, Bourdieu, McNay, Adkins, and Ong to offer a deep analysis of how these concepts function in contemporary Asian societies. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the intersection of social theory, politics, and culture. By applying established theoretical frameworks to specific regional contexts, it offers new perspectives on how modern social structures shape individual and collective experiences in Asia.

Key Features
