• W755890277 abstract "AbstractThe Arab Spring and the situation of the authoritarian states of East Asia are an interesting phenomenon for political analysis, while the majority of Asians are not governed freely. This study examines, in a descriptive way, the situation in North Korea, Burma, China, Vietnam, and Laos in their relation to the Arab Spring as a source of inspiration for social that lead to systemic changes. The transformations in the Arab World did not bring about political reforms in East Asia. On the contrary, the Arab Spring helped those in power to control their citizens even more closely, which sheds light on political changes in the future.ContextThe social protests which took place in North Africa and the Middle East at the turn of 2010 and 2011 led to political changes in most countries in the region, although it is still barely possible to call it a success in terms of establishing democracy. In the Arab world, they were of a nature that could be described as an avalanche, and even if they did not bring about an immediate fulfillment of social demands in some countries, they could be said to have 'erupted' in others. At the same time, the protests got a lot of publicity abroad. While the Arab Spring swept through the Middle East, the rulers of other non-democratic countries of the world would adopt various survival strategies. In this context, the situation of the authoritarian states of East Asia seems very interesting.1 The possibility of social inspiration stemming from the events of the Arab Spring and the fears of those in power with regards to these distant countries is far from insignificant. Meanwhile, the challenges those in power face are due to analogous social needs and a questioning of the ruling elites.The purpose of this article is to analyze the situation of the authoritarian states of East Asia in relation to the events of the Arab Spring as a source of inspiration for social unrest that lead to systemic changes. The basis for the assumed research strategy is the Western classification of political regimes and the understanding of political changes. An interesting matter is the fundamental issue of social protests in these countries, their scale and effectiveness, the ways in which those in power reacted to them, and the role of modern media. The likelihood of harsher reactions from the military junta ruling in Burma2 at that time and the regime of the Kim family in North Korea was assumed. According to this hypothesis, a similarly harsh response should have been expected from the ruling communist parties in China, Vietnam, and Laos. Whether the actions of the authorities of these countries were a response to the events in the Middle East or rather a reaction to the increasing dissatisfaction of citizens with the apparent course of insensitivity to public needs reflected by ongoing corruption, nepotism in power structures and cronyism, remains an open question.The mentioned cases of the situations of authoritarian states will be related to a theoretical framework of political changes. They were used to support the analysis of current events and helped to verify the assumptions about the inevitability of future political changes in these countries. Hence, the issue of engagement of other countries in promoting democracy was raised. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan stand out from the list of these countries. In this context, the analysis also refers to the characteristics of the ruling elites and the controversies concerning the conditions for the success of the revolution without neglecting the specificities of Asian countries. The three years, which have passed from 2011, also make for a convenient perspective of time in terms of political analysis.East Asian regimes - Western classificationWestern classifications of freedom in the world are considered controversial in Asia as they do not reflect cultural and local differences. Despite that fact, a certain number of East Asian states bring up the rear in the rankings. …" @default.
