Citizen Power, Politics, and the Asian Miracle: Reassessingthe Dynamics. By O. Fiona Yap. Boulder, CO: LynneReiner, 2005. $49.95.

These works exemplify the kind of broadly comparative study that manypolitical scientists call for, yet few actually undertake. KurtSchock studies six different popular movements against authoritarianrule, and O. Fiona Yap analyzes the interaction between citizens andgovernment in four Asian newly industrialized countries (NICs).Together, they illuminate the dynamics of state-society relations inilliberal political contexts.
