Development Strategies of Nordic and Asian countries - understanding cultural relations
This research aims to investigate the nature of development policies of Nordic and Asian countries, as well as contributing factors that shape differences and similarities of their development policies. Through this research, we will also examine the history and current and future directions of diplomacy of these regions. To do that, we choose three prominent donor countries from Nordic and Asian regions, specifically, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea, and Japan.
