Asian values
Definition
- Asian values is a controversial concept associated with prominent Asian politicians and establishment intellectuals who claimed that the Asian postwar “economic miracle” was due to the shared culture of East Asian societies, especially those of Confucian heritage. They asserted that the “Asian values” that explained this success were discipline, hard work, frugality, educational achievement, balancing individual and societal needs, and deference to authority.
