Thepolitics ofAsia are extremely varied as would be expected of such a large landmass and a diverse population.Constitutional monarchies,absolute monarchies,one-party states,federal states,dependent territories,liberal democracies andmilitary dictatorships are all factors in the region, as well as various forms ofindependence movements.[citation needed]
Civilization has a long history throughoutAsia and it probably involvedpolitics right from the start although some of the earliest discernible political structures arose inMesopotamia with the advent of writing offering details of these politics. A large and well organizedcivil service the like of which arose inChina is also a necessary adjunct to politics.[citation needed] Much of the political climate in Asia today is affected bycolonialism andimperialism of the past with some states retaining close links with their former colonial governors while others involved in bitter independence struggles the consequences of which continue to be felt.[citation needed]
The current situation[when?] is still mixed, with hostilities in parts of Asia such as the continuing tensions overSouth China Sea,Kashmir,Taiwan,Tibet,North Korea,South Koreaas well as economic competitiveness betweenChina andIndia. China and India do not have a peace treaty, nor do Russia and Japan or North Korea and South Korea. However, there are also moves towards greater co-operation and communication within the region withAssociation of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) a notable example.
