The political system of a country integrates different groups into a functioning, self-sustaining, and self-governing society (Daniels, Radebaugh, & Sullivan, 2007, para. 1). Creating a majority of people in society that accepts present political views can result in positive benefits including the attraction of foreign investment and international trade. When turmoil among the people and the roles of government exists, friction occur creating unpleasant unrest. This unrest becomes a deterrent to foreign companies doing business or about to do business within the country.…

In some ways Globalization does narrow the development gap. The ability of TNC’s to contribute to GDP in a country is massive. This can be directly via the creation of jobs or indirectly as TNC’s often outsource to other domestic companies. TNC’s such as LG and Hyundai have helped to provide jobs and finance thought South Korea helping to bring them from having a GDP per capita of under $ 5000 in 1981 to over $15000in the 2001. The top 4 firms in South Korea; Daewoo, Samsung, LG and Hyundai now contribute around 60% of South Koreas GDP showing the impact that these major TNC’s have has in the once poor country.

Just as how no one can control what family they are born into, no one can control what country they are raised in as a child. As a result of being born into different countries and better families, some are lucky enough to grow up and live a better life than others that were not lucky enough to be born into a great country. The reason why some countries are better than others are due to things such as geography, opportunity, and education. Another important factor that contributes to people living better lives than others is because the government system in one country is better than the other. The way that the government is set up in a country is a big contributing factor to the way in which the citizens live their life. For example, American citizens absolutely live a better life than North Korean citizens and the government has to do with…

The fast growth of the above-mentioned countries have been attributed to implemented policies and specific conditions in Asia. According to (Radelet, Sachs and Lee, 1997), there are four main reasons that these countries experienced fast growth compared to other nations in the world. The first is that each of the HPAEs had “substantial potential for catching up.” In the 1960s, they were still having low incomes. However, there was already an emphasis on education, thus they were already producing highly-educated workers. The second is that their “geographical and structural characteristics” were very much favorable to their development. All these countries have also been affected by the Second World War and the changes that followed in terms of demography also favored faster growth. The third reason is their strategies and policies being conducive to economic growth. The final reason is that these countries’ recognize the role that “labor-intensive” manufactured exports” has in the world economy. The leaders were aware that to be able to participate in the global economy there was a need to implement…
