The Asian Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions was launched in the beginning of 1991 by the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs and hoped to serve as the focal point of the study of democratization in Asia, sharing the Asian experience with the world, and bringing the experiences of others to Asia, through a program of formal lectures, informal discussions, and the publication of this journal. This periodical was intended to be published annually. Includes Dedications, Editor's Introduction, and a listing of Contributors. Topics covered include Dedication, Editor's Introduction, The Paternalistic Tradition and Russia's Transition to Literal Democracy; The Military ands Politics in Thailand; The Role of Media in Strengthening Democracy; Democracy and Economic Development: A Comparative Perspective; Korea's Democratic Experiment: 1987-1991; Building an Efficient Civil Service for Philippine Democracy; and Democracy and Economic Reform in Mexico. Also includes a list of contributors. The Asian Center was a reflection of the changes in Asia manifested by the overthrow of Marcos and the election of Corazon Aquino. It was located in Manila. This issue of Democratic Institutions may be the only issue produced, since Internet research has not located any references to subsequent issues. Christopher J.
