Explain East Asian political economy
Hi, I need a 5 to 6 page paper that explains the East Asian political economy. I have to use exact quotations from the notes attached so you can legitimately put them word for word in quotation marks. Also, you can use the heading in the notes as an outline and discuss some of them in the essay. In addition, I need to use some of quotes I included below.
- “Free choice is the foundation of modern society and is the presupposition of a market economy. “
- “In his famous thesis The Analects and Abacus, for example, Eiichi proclaimed that there was no contradiction between Confucian morality and market economy.” (Yao 137)
- “Through these two channels, elements of Japanese Confucianism were transmitted to the modern era, one in which Confucianism was further altered to suit the social, political and economic needs of a rapidly changing Japan and Japanese society” (Yao 137).
- “Confucianism has a bias against modernisation . . . It opposes modernising society, state, economy and culture and cannot contribute to the process of modernisation” (Yao 271-272).
- Confucianism and its modern relevance: “For example, Confucian political designs are attached to the imperial constitution and institution in China (to the monarchy in Korea, and, to a lesser extent, to the bakufu, military government in Japan), the Confucian family ethic is based on patriarchy requiring the young to obey the elder, and the female to obey the male, and Confucian social programmes are rooted in, and in return serve, a small-scale peasant economy” (Yao 273).
