Examine the impact of globalization in two Asian countries (excluding China, Japan and India).

The question requires that candidates consider the interrelationship between globalization and the domestic developments in two countries, referring to both countries throughout. The impact may extend beyond the timeframe but must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may refer to the impact of globalization on the social, cultural and economic developments in two countries; for example the changes in social structures that took place including the growth of the middle class and the replacement of cultural traditions with modern western values. Changes took place in dress, food, religious beliefs and ways of living. Urbanization, demographic changes and the creation of new jobs impacted standards of living. While other relevant interrelationships, for example the impact of globalization on the relationship with other countries may be considered, the bulk of the response will remain on the impact of globalization within two countries.
