Australian and East Asia government were some interesting countries to research government history. Australia with the historical background of the Aborigine’s and East Asia’s numerous countries with bumpy but steady move toward democracy. In this paper, I will compare the Aboriginal and the countries that have democracies in East Asia .
The history of East Asia goes back as far as 7500 BC in the prehistoric Neolithic period, includes the days of the empire of China, and disseminates into the present day. East Asia at one time was considered the nucleus of Authoritarian rule. Recently there have been milestones towards developing a properly functioning democracy. Japan at one-time was considered the only democracy, but in recent years, South Korea and

A number of other countries in East Asia are showing signs of progressing from dictatorship to form of democracy, which include Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Additionally the country Burma, is heading toward democracy for the first time in over twenty years. However, only Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are seen as stable democracy, with Japan being the lone Asian country that has been technically liberal and democratic for six decades without disturbance. Citizens do express concerns about authoritarian rule and most favor the liberal form of democracy with rule of law, freedom of expression, and judicial independence.
The Aboriginal democracy traces back to the right to vote in Australia, which occurred in the 1800s. In the beginning, Aborigines were governed by laws from the creative ancestral beings, coming from tradition vice
The Chinese and Australia economies have many similarities and differences, including the size of the economies, growth rates, unemployment, inequality, standard of living, environmental issues and the roles the different governments have in influencing and modifying these factors of the economy.
When comparing the communist nation of China with the democratic nation of Australia many differences are apparent. The application of the legislative (law making and modifying function), executive (administrative function) and judiciary (law enforcing and dispute resolving function) is vastly different between the two nations as can see when we compare and contrast the underlying principles of each system of government. Firstly, both nations claim to uphold the concept of the rule of law, although due to corruptive forces surrounding the Chinese court system, this concept is often thwarted and equality before the law is not upheld. Within the constitutions of both nations the basic principles of separation of powers have been applied;
Australia and Indonesia political systems are instrumental in shaping the development of individual nations. These systems determine the policies that are to be followed by the government and the governed and aim to establish political stability. Despite Australia is a constitutional monarchy and Indonesia is a republic, the two country have many similarities and differences in the political system. This extended response identifies and compares the key features of government system and election between Australia and Indonesia political systems.
A democracy is a system of government where the people have the power to decide how they will be ruled or managed. Democracies date back to Ancient Greece and come in different types. These include direct democracies and representative democracies. Australia and Indonesia are two countries that are considered democratic. They are both similar in the ways they govern and the rules set in their constitutions. Australia and Indonesia's system of government are similar as they both consist of a separation of powers, lower and upper house and they are both representative democracies.
Merry Christmas! Christmas is a special time of the year. People all around the world enjoy the Christmas season. Some traditions are specific in their country. Australia and the United States share some traditions, however, other things are completely different.
This report will cover the history of the Aboriginal Voting rights in Australia. The Aboriginals did not gain the right to federal voting at least 150 years after the British colonized in Australia. All citizens of a nation deserve equal rights.
China has, for a sustained period of time, been one of Australia's most important trade and economic partners. But this has not always been the case. Since the late 1970s China has moved from a closed, internal focused economy to more of a global market oriented one that plays a major part in other nations economies, like Australia's. Although China is technically a Socialist nation, market capitalism is actively encouraged, much the same as in Australia. In 2010 China became the world's largest exporter, with exports ranging from natural resources to manufactured goods. (CIA-World fact book) Australia's economy, in this sense, differs from that of China's. As Australia is simply too expensive to manufacture goods ("Holden, Ford,
Each example given has also shown how self-determination was and continues to be a major struggle for Aboriginal people. Beginning with the Whitlam government, the Land Rights Act was going to be the national recognition that Aboriginal people had been waiting for, however the swift dismissal of the government and subsequent changes to the bill meant that an uninformed government would dictate claims of Aboriginal land rights. This was continued in the Heritage Protection Act for Western Australia in which no monitoring of abuses of power within the authoritative ministry was assessed; hence damage to heritage sites for the development of industries occurred. Finally the Racial Discrimination Act although making racial discrimination illegal has clearly been violated by the government in the Northern Territory interventions and hence is not valued by Australia despite the international commitments made to recognising Indigenous rights. Although legislation has been introduced to recognise Indigenous rights, there seems to always be a catch. A final reoccurring theme in the legislation discussed is the uninformed views of the non-Indigenous government as decisions are made on behalf of Aboriginal people; hence two major statements were discussed that precisely define Aboriginal self-determination by Aboriginal
Australia and China are two countries located in the southern and northern hemispheres respectively. They are both very important and major international exporters across the globe. Australian exports reached an all time high of A$29,970 million in February of 2014, this is a gain of A$120 million from the previous year. Australia’s natural resources are one of its main exports as Australia is so rich in its natural resources such as bauxite, coal, copper, tin, gold, iron ore, silver, uranium, tungsten, nickel, lead, zinc, diamonds, mineral sands, natural gas and petroleum.
While it may be argued that voting rights was an inducement to avoid the collective rights, land claims and self-government that many were vocally pursing at the time, two separate organizations have confronted the issue of Indigenous voting rights which has impacted Indigenous communities today. There are three prominent examples that support my argument, firstly, because of the issues brought forward, The Indian Act modified Section 77(1) which regards voting in band elections. Secondly, in 1960 Indigenous people were granted the right to vote in the federal election. Thirdly, as a result of confronting the issues surrounding voting rights, I would like to discuss Aboriginal electoral participation in Canada to represent how Aboriginal
Aboriginal people are denied of their inherent rights to govern their own affairs, and face a lot of government involvement in the development of their non- adversarial methods of solving problems. This leads the ultimate sovereignty of the administration of these Aboriginal centred justice system programs to be in the control of the government’s hands to a certain extent. They are forcefully governed
Traditional systems of government had been dismantled by the Indian Act 1876 and other forms of control had been established (Aboriginal Self Government, n.d). After an increase in effective political organizations and activism, as well as well-covered conflicts over development in the north, Canada finally began to slightly acknowledge and enable forms of self-government; this was not until the late 60’s and early 70’s (Aboriginal Self Government, n.d). The idea of self government attained momentum during the late 20th and the early 21st centuries, and Aboriginal people began to see and understand their rights to self government asserted in the Constitution Act 1982 (Aboriginal Self Government, n.d). However, the right for Aboriginals to a self-government is far from being entrenched in law. This can be clearly proven by the slow progress and the ongoing negotiations that are taking place.
This essay analyses the Australian-China bilateral relationship since 1945 and in particular its political significance to Australia. Many global factors have influenced this relationship, including the advent of the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the collapse of the Soviet bloc European nations. In addition, internal political changes in Australia and China have both affected and been affected by the global changes. It will be analysed that Australia’s bilateral relationship with China has always had a sharp political edge but that approaching the new millenium economics and trade considerations are shaping Australias and for that matter Chinese politics.
The United States of America and Australia both have powerful economies that continue to experience economic growth annually. The two nations have similarities and differences in certain economic issues including: population, market structure and standard of living, which all contribute to the overall wealth of the countries. Population growth can impact an economic growth in various ways such as increasing job opportunities. Additionally, the standard of living is determined by a criteria of points and attracts foreigners to move countries. Lastly, both nations adopt mixed market economies which contribute greatly to the country's economic strength. Ultimately, the small variances in economic issues that the US and Australia face, enable them
Democracy has become the most widespread political form of government during the past decade, after the fall of all its alternatives. During the second part of the 20th century, the 3 main enemies of democracy, namely communism, fascism and Nazism, lost most of their power and influence. However, democracy is still only to be found in less than half of this world's countries. China with a fifth of the total population "had never experienced a democratic government" and Russia still doesn't have a well established democracy. By adopting a democratic perspective, 3 types of governments emerge, non-democratic, new democracies, and old democracies, and all have a different challenge to overcome: either to become democratic, to "consolidate"
