Reseña del libro "Alternative Discourses on Modernization and Development: East Asian Perspectives (en Inglés)"

Spanning the 19th and 20th centuries and identifying multiple waves of modernization, this series illustrates how principles originating in Chinese Confucianism have impacted on the modernization of East Asia. It analyzes how such principles are exercised at personal, interpersonal and organizational levels and reveals how, as modernization unfolds in East Asia, there is a rising interest in the tradition of Confucianism and its relevance to global development. This cutting edge work offers an alternative perspective on existing paradigms of modernization and development that originated in the West from the vantage point of non-western, late-modernizing societies. It considers how East Asian philosophical ideas enrich the reformulation of the concept of development or societal development, and how influential principles of traditional culture such as yin-yang dialectic interact with modern ideas and technology. It addresses the significance of alternative discourses as culturally independent scholarship, and the problems of pervasive mechanisms of social, political, economic, and cultural dependence in the global academic world.
