Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the influence of political ideologies on state formation in 19th century Asia.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Nationalism emerged as a powerful force, advocating for self-determination and sovereignty against colonial powers. Imperialism, driven by European nations, reshaped geopolitical boundaries and governance structures, leading to the formation of colonial states in many Asian regions. Additionally, modernization efforts, influenced by socialist and capitalist ideologies, prompted reforms in governance, infrastructure, and education, facilitating state-building processes across Asia. These ideological dynamics played pivotal roles in shaping the political landscapes and state formations that continue to influence Asia's development and geopolitics today.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Modernization theory, dependency theory & postcolonial theory may be used to anchor future studies on the influence of political ideologies on state formation in 19th century Asia. Advocate for governance models that reflect the diverse cultural and ethnic identities within Asian states. Develop policies that acknowledge and address historical injustices and legacies of imperialism, as demonstrated by the case of Korea.
