International Political Economy of East Asia
As growth of the economy is something most governments in most developing countries would like to have, the interplay between the politics and economics of such growth-oriented policies becomes all-important.
The East Asian region is one of the most diversified regions in the world where neighboring countries can be so different economically, politically, and culturally that it is impossible to draw any common factors that can be used to explain the patterns of their lives or livelihood. One thing is quite common; however, most of the countries in East Asia gained their independence after the Second World War, and started to develop their countries in their own separate ways.
Despite all these adverse effects and undesirable consequences, the Second
World War combined with the intrusion of Japanese military power into Southeast
Asia had helped shatter both the mystique and the institutions of Western Colonialism. Not only that, the occupation policies of the Japanese in a number of Southeast Asian countries also provided nursing grounds for the expansion of popular participation in politics. Thus the Japanese, whether intentionally or not, helped rekindle the nationalistic and anti-colonial movements that lay below the surface in Indonesia, Malaya, Philippines and Burma. It is these nationalistic movements that shaped what to become of many Southeast Asian economies later.
Take the first example of Indonesia. Under the Dutch colonial rule, the economy was neatly divided into the primary product export sector and the traditional agrarian sector (Paauw, 1981). This dualistic pattern of the economy where the modern, enclave-styled, export sector coexisted with the traditional, backward agricultural sector indeed typified the 'colonial pattern' of many Southeast Asian economies at the end of the war.
But the change does not come this way. When the Japanese were gone, back came the former colonial rulers to frustrate emerging nationalistic movements.
Nowhere in Southeast Asia was the postwar fight for independence more traumatic than in Indonesia. The bitter colonial experience led the postwar Indonesian leader (Sukarno) to spend a lot of time and resources uprooting the Dutch colonial heritage, and perhaps emphasizing too much on economic nationalism.
Thus there is a framework which is based on the power relationships among individuals or groups of individual or institutions (which contain individuals or groups of individuals) in deciding on certain policies that affect growth.

Despite offering particular benefits to post-conflict nations, increased levels of help following civil war also comes with negative upshots that entails a rise in fraud and jeopardizing one of the basic objectives of peacekeeping. Corruption affects the peacebuilding process, institutions and people in a given nation. For instance in Herzegovina and Bosnia, corruption affected the operation of Bosnian judicial institutions (Kahler, 2013). Moreover, the strategy adapted to address fraud in
Socialist states use a command and control management structure as a substitute for the profit motive. This structure is less efficient, so production levels cannot match those of capitalist states. Ultimately, the lack of productivity and the large number of distortions lead to economic collapse (Tesche, 1993). Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the pace and nature of economic reforms has differed greatly in the former Soviet states. These

In what ways did the French-Indian War alter political, economic, ideological relations between the American colonies and Great Britain? For many years, tensions had been simmering between England and France, the dominant European powers in control of the colonial territories in the Americas. The two nations' relationship was even more complicated due to the various tribal alliances of Native Americans.
