Does Asian-Style Democracy Exist?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing this question. South Korean president Kim Dae Jung insists that "democracy has to go hand in hand with economic growth," a statement that can be verified by history. As more Asian nations seek solid positions within the still-emerging world economy, we can expect them to drift more toward democracy, even if they are not particularly fond of it. Such changes are apparent even in China, where the communist government is fully opposed to democracy. There is indeed an Asian-style democracy, and it is one that may have lessons for friends in the West. Singapore is used as example throughout. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
