Perspectives

Volume 92 – No. 3

Enduring Issues / Changing Perspectives 3

The article that follows, by Paul Bowles, was originally published in Pacific Affairs, Volume 70, No. 2, Summer 1997. The article has attracted significant attention, both at the time it was published, and more recently. We are re-printing it here, with commentaries by three scholars and a response by Bowles himself, in view of the continuing relevance of the arguments that the article develops, and of the way in which it leads to reflection about the changes that have taken place in Asia over the last quarter century. We consider that such engagement and reconsideration of substantive work from previous decades can make a valuable contribution, as is the case here, to understanding both contemporary history and the ways in which social scientists have thought about it.
