Conclusion

Article Abstract:

The growth and survival of capitalism in the regions of the Pacific Rim can be ensured only by strengthening the existing social and political structures. A weak nation that relies solely on corporate power to infuse its economy cannot sustain long-term development. Unmitigated and unchecked privatisation of state-owned enterprises can harm the interests of the consumers. The social tensions between the rich and the poor classes in the Pacific islands and the industrialized nations of Japan, Australia, and New Zealand are not conducive for the economy in the long run.

The 'developing powers': Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia

Article Abstract:

The corporate giants of Japan and other developed nations are investing heavily in the markets of the developing countries of South East Asia, namely, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The exploitation of labour by the capitalist class in these countries is likely to bring a change in the authoritarian power structure and result in the development of the middle class. The economic growth of Thailand and Malaysia has been comparatively higher than that of Indonesia and Philippines.

Agonize, don't organize: a critique of postfeminism

Article Abstract:

Postfeminism and postfeminist studies lack a clear voice and have distanced women from activism by not meeting the needs of women outside of academic arenas. Postfeminists have given up the initial goals of promoting equality as articulated by the first wave feminists. Modern feminists have mired their discourse so heavily in academia that they cannot articulate their goals or actively involve marginalized women.
