synopsis
As Asia continues to be the fastest-growing economic region in the world, will Asias monarchies be able to keep the pace? Asias Monarchies are all unique, but there is one thing they all share in common - all are at a fascinating point in their various histories. In this five-part series we journey to the heart of these beautiful lands to understand the relationship between the people and their monarchs. To many, their monarchy is an anachronism an institution that hampers progression. To others it is the heart and soul of their nation, part of their shared history and a guard against the dangers of modernity. What is clear is that Asia's monarchies are at a tipping-point and that what happens to each of them will hasten a new era that will affect not only the East but the whole world.
