An overview of the post-World War II national context of development and the patterns of growth and transformation for the country in question

Select an Asian country. Write a paper that includes: (1) an overview of the post-World War II national context of development and the patterns of growth and transformation for the country in question, as well as a description of how recentprocesses of “post-Cold War globalization” are changing patterns of development in the country; (2) individual sections, describing some of their most pressing social and development issues and analyzing how they are being affected by post-Cold War globalization.

Within the context of“post-Cold War globalization” ensure the essay has an argument or research question. In writing this paper you should use both basic materials providing empirical description/historical analysis of the country’s development and theoretical concepts that have been discussed in the class and the course readings. The empirical materials may include any library and web-based sources that are reputable. This means, e.g., that e-journals, periodicals, and encyclopaedias may be used, including Wikipedia, provided that you cross-check various sources, but random web sites providing information the accuracy of which you cannot readily check are not acceptable. The theoretical concepts may include any of the ideas discussed in the course, including (but not limited to) the following: orientalism, neo-colonialism, BRI, nationalism, globalization, feminization, marginalization, demographic transition, agrarian transition, urban transition, neo- liberalism, and desakota.
