<br/><br/> Suggests that Gramsci's theory of hegemony  (that is: hegemony as non-coercive leadership over a coalition of allied social forces [Oxford companion to politics of the world, 1993]). offers a better explanation of the political systems of east and southeast Asian countries than those suggested by contemporary theories of authoritarianism. Uses the example of Singapore to illustrate the argument.
