The financial problems in the region in the late 1990s caused political turmoil but that is now resolved.

Though no two democracies have ever gone to war with each other, the transition to democracy is a very dangerous process (e.g. Iraq), which most of the states in this region have yet to experience. What will the results be-especially considering that two of them (China and North Korea) have nuclear capabilities?
