This keynote attempts a rethinking of Asian geography by making the case for “developmental Asia” as a region transcending the conventional divide between Northeast and Southeast Asia. Developmental Asia is defined by political economy, not just physical geography. It has four distinctive developmental clusters containing three cases each. The value of this clustered approach is established by showing how developmental cluster rather than overall levels of development is perfectly correlated with whether or not authoritarian regimes have made democratic concessions in times of considerable regime strength. It is not levels of modernization, but the type of institutional development attending economic development that best explains developmental Asia’s uneven record of democratization.

Price: Free
