Title: Nations, National Narratives and Communities in the Asia-Pacific (Comparative Development and Policy in Asia)
Description: "Many states in the Asia Pacific region are not built around a single homogenous people, but rather include many large, varied, different national groups. This book explores how states in the region attempt to develop commonality and a nation and the difficulties that arise. It discusses the consequences which ensue when competing narratives clash, and examines the nature of resistance to dominant narratives which arise"--
