The book explores the debate surrounding the universality of human rights in the context of East and Southeast Asia. It argues for the concept of universal rights while examining the social and political dynamics within various countries in the region. The analysis highlights how Asian values intersect with the conflict between authoritarianism and democracy, revealing how both sides perpetuate distorted perceptions of the West, albeit with opposing interpretations.
