To what extent did globalization have a positive impact on two Asian countries (exluding China, Japan and India) to 2005?

Candidates will consider the merits or otherwise of the suggestion that globalisation did have a positive influence on two Asian countries (excluding China, Japan and India). Candidates may offer equal coverage of the two countries, or they may prioritize their discussion of one. However, both will be a feature of the response. A comparative approach may or may not be used. Candidates may refer to a wide range of factors, which will be determined to some extent by the countries selected. These may include economic growth and trade, industrialisation, technological advancement, employment opportunities, demographic change, health and welfare provisions, social unrest, the increased presence of expatriate communities, and the foreign cultural impact. These may not all be covered or covered equally. While other, relevant, factors may be referred to, the bulk of the response will remain on the issue raised in the question. Candidates may agree, partly agree or disagree with the suggestion.
