Exercise : Assess Long Term Threats to the Democratic Way of Life
...yeah...!...
Situation
[ The 1900s ] historical "plot" for Japanese expansion and regional control was the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, an imperial concept promoted during the 1930s and WWII to dominate Asia under the guise of freeing it from Western colonial rule. [1]

Japan used pan-Asian propaganda claiming a "universal brotherhood" to help Asian nations shake off European and American control. [1]
[ In reality ] ...it served as a geopolitical and economic blueprint for Japanese [ state political, economic, and cultural dominance and leadership over others ]
Japan sought raw materials like:
- oil
- rubber
- bauxite
to fuel its war machine and sustain a [ closed ] empire. [1]
Closed economy: Operates without relying on outside help, goods, or services.
Self-reliance: Produces all necessary food, energy, and manufactured goods strictly within its own borders.
Protectionism: Limits or bans international trade to protect local industries or exert government control. [1, 2, 3, 4]

"Closed" Geographic Zones
True, 100% "closed" nations are rare because modern global supply chains make total isolation very difficult. Countries like North Korea (through its juche ideology) or historical regimes have pursued "closed" economic policies to minimize outside influence.
Juche is the official state ideology of North Korea, translating roughly to "self-reliance" or "mastery of oneself." [1, 2]
Core Principles and Impact on Society
Political Independence (Jaju):
A nation must govern itself without foreign interference. [1]
Economic Self-Sufficiency (Jarip):
The country must build a national economy free from outside help. [1]
Military Self-Defense (Jawi):
The state must protect its own borders and sovereignty through military strength. [1]
Control:
The Workers Party of Korea uses Juche to maintain strict centralized control over public life and the economy. [1, 2]
Isolation:
The ideology teaches that the outside world is hostile, which helps justify the country's isolation and intense military focus. [1, 2]
