East Asia, Goverment and Politics

By: Saad Mansoor

As you know government and economies are closely related and the problems of the region more or less emerge from the same. Culture, social fabric and economy are the other factors that can make a heading of the problems.

 Places in East Asian countries like China, Japan, North & South Korea, etc; have these five major problems for promoting policies that are consisting with their development goals:

1)   Ensuring security & political stability

2)   Anticipating the impact of their macroeconomic policies

3)   Increasing marketing access

4)   Supporting government structure that help maintain financial stability

5)   Improving aid effectiveness

Japan has a democratic government. They have both a industrialized and crowded society, and they fought very well to achieve their goals. It introduced many powerful pollution laws, clean technology, controlling ocean resources, and natural problems.

North Korea and South Korea, and Taiwan, though have different form of governments are plagued with air and water pollution. These are their major problems. We know that North Korea has a dictatorship, which also compromises basic human rights and international laws.

China has democratic government. It is East Asia’s the most ruler economy. Basic Human Rights and pollution are problems here too. World keep pressing for these issues and China is trying to respond to it though at a slow pace.  The gap between elite and poor class is also rising there. As China is the largest growing economy of the world it is also compromising the environmental issues and honestly the rest of the world is somehow overlooking it.
