摘要:
The financial problems in the region in the late 1990s caused political turmoil but that is now resolved. China's continuing rapid economic growth will have major consequences, including a massive rearmament programme- for what ultimate purpose? Though no two democracies have ever gone to war with each other, the transition to democracy is a very dangerous process (e.g. Iraq), which most of the states in this region have yet to experience. What will the results be-especially considering that two of them (China and North Korea) have nuclear capabilities?
