Culture and Modernisation: From the Perspectives of Young People in Bhutan by Akiko Ueda

This is a study of what a people and a government in a so- called developing country think about modernisation and culture and tradition. It is an attempt to understand “development” from the perspectives of people and government in a developing country, the place where, after all, development activities are actually taking place. The location of the study is Bhutan and the focus is on the young generation in that society.
