The Price of Rights, 23rd Dec., 2010.

Micheal C. Davis wrote an article in the Human Rights Quarterly, titled "The Price of Rights: Constitutionalism and East Asian Economic Development."

Following the Japanese pattern, the Council for Economic Planning and Development targeted certain industries for development and even provided substantial state funding. [64] Taiwan's development pattern generally favored the emergence of many small entrepreneurs from among the workers; therefore, the country did not experience the worker polarization and militancy that South Korea saw. [65] Even in the absence of such polarization, however, with economic success in the 1980s came calls for democratization. In such a highly educated society, the paternalistic authoritarian governance no longer was deemed sustainable for such a diverse, sophisticated, and economically developed polity. [66]
