East Asia is today an area of dramatic transformations, yet ancient philosophy and forms of government still influence economics, politics, the
environment, and human well-being. For most of East Asian history, the rich cultural areas of eastern China were the source of wealth, technology,
and culture. Although the surrounding areas were heavily influenced by China, many countries in the region developed distinct cultures and have
taken very different economic, political, and social paths. Cultural diversity is a major issue in East Asia, despite the fact that most countries each
have one dominant ethnic group.
The physical geography of East Asia is diverse, but harsh and often mountainous; few areas are naturally suitable for agriculture and uses of the land
have been inventive. Both population and population densities are high; China alone has more than one-fifth of the world’s population, and although
many couples are limited by law to one child, the population will continue to grow because so many people are now entering their reproductive years.
The size and growth of the population in this region is a concern, as it is difficult to provide an acceptable standard of living for the population.
Gigantic strides in improving quality of life for the vast majority of East Asians are evident, but many of these improvements are coming at a cost to
the environment and urban living conditions.
There are huge economic opportunities in this region. Some countries have had state-aided market economies since World War II; others are moving
away from centrally planned economies. However, the countries in transition face a number of struggles as they attempt to reduce regional variations
in prosperity, pursue more market-oriented economies, maintain food stability, preserve the environment, and create opportunities for rural
economies.
East Asian countries are now beginning to address some of the problems that have been left unresolved for decades. Population control, gender
inequality, and the lack of political participation are important issues in the future of this region.
