¶ … Financial Regulatory Harmonization in East Asia
As globalization continues to evolve local economies, there has been increasing pressure put on East Asian nations to implement corporate governance reform. Many East Asian nations lack the restrictions and regulations seen in Western nations that provide for more responsible treatment of corporate activities that impact the health of businesses in that economy and attract foreign investment.. Moreover, the lack of corporate governance regulations have also been thought to have played a role in the 1997 Asian financial crisis, as there were not checks in place to curb corporate behavior that contributed to economic decline.

Ultimately, the recommendations are meant to make these economies more cohesive with other global economic structures.
Yet, many local businesses do not see the need to increase such corporate governance and thus often only make minor superficial changes to make it look like they are taking such issues seriously. In fact, nations like Japan, South Korea, and China have been slow to adopt any of the recommendations provided by international organizations for various reasons. In certain areas, a wealthy elite dominate over political and business practices, wishing not to disrupt corporate activities that have so far been favorable to their role and influence. Many of these nations have thus been quite slow to implement any of the recommendations at all. Carney (2010) breaks down the issues resulting in slow implementation of such economic reforms by specific nation.

Reliability & Validity The key will be to find reliability and validity. Reliability, of course, is the concept that if someone else does the same exact research in the same exact way, the research conclusions drawn will be close to if not entirely identical. Validity is similar in that the conclusions met have to be directly applied and ascertained based on the data that actually exists and not based on the
