Question

China's state-directed development model has sometimes been called "Confucian Capitalism," tied to "Asian values" such as maintaining order and deference to authority. Others sharply criticize the country's harsh and repressive state practices and do not accept the "Asian values" argument. The radar chart maps the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) across the RCII's "Governance" indicators, including the aggregate "Governance" score. It is one way to visualize.

1. Rank the countries on the aggregate "Governance" indicator. Does it surprise you who ranks and scores the lowest?
2. On which variable does China score the worst inside the "Governance" dimension?

Answer 1

1. South africa, India, Brazil, China, Russia

2. Voice and Accountability

Step-by-step explanation:

Governance is the term that refers to the way in which the power of a government within a country is exercised in relation to the administration of the resources necessary for the development of the country. Therefore, this term is also directly related to a government's ability to plan policies and programs that enable the country's functionality and its ability to achieve a goal.

In terms of governance, the countries that make up the BRICS are ranked as follows: South Africa, India, Brazil, China, Russia. As you can see Russia has the lowest score, which surprises me greatly, since this is a European country with a well-established economy and being a military power.

China, on the other hand, has a lower score in the item "Voice and Accountability", due to an episode in which these factors were denied or provided in a wrong and inefficient way.
