Abstract
Orientalist scholarship in the nineteenth century perceived Asians as the mysterious and backward people of the Far East. Ironically, as this century draws to a close, leaders of prosperous and entrepreneurial East and Southeast Asian coun tries eagerly stress Asia's incommensurable differences from the West and demand special treatment of their human rights record by the international community.
