Description: "In The Politics of Affective Relations, editors Hahm Chaihark and Daniel A. Bell refine our understanding of the East Asian conception of the self by examining how that conception has been formulated, reproduced, and utilized throughout history. By bringing together a collection of articles authored by experts in a variety of academic disciplines, Hahm and Bell scrutinize how the East Asian emphasis on affective relations manifests itself in various real-life settings such as the family, the economy, politics, and the legal system. This volume will provide readers with a broader perspective on and a deeper appreciation for the pervasive nature of affective relations in East Asia."--BOOK JACKET.
