Adam Tyson, Associate Professor and Pro Dean International, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Leeds, UK This book brings together scholars based in, or had previously been based in a range of East and Southeast Asian countries, building on their respective primary empirical data and first-hand experience as academics and think tank researchers, in order to pluralise the current debates about governance intransitional societies. Binh Thi An Trinh is an independent scholar from Vietnam. She graduated from the University of Leeds in 2020 with a Doctoral degree in Politics and International Studies. Her PhD thesis focuses on narratives and life histories of women working in NGOs in post-reform Vietnam. Her research specialisation is on neoliberalism, gender, civil society, NGOs, middle-classes, ethical citizenship, governmentality and governance with a focus on East and Southeast Asian regions. Her work lies at the intersection of political economy and anthropology. She specialises in qualitative research and ethnographic methods. In an era of global democratic backsliding, this edited volume offers less-explored local perspectives, to balance the Western-centrism observed in area studies and the focus on former Soviet countries in transit. What is the future of governance in Asia? This book, by attempting to supply a diversity of answers, will interest political scientists, economists, and journalists.
