In modern society, to be informed about the acts of government and to participate in politics has become a world trend. In recent years, this trend has even reached previously socialistic countries and developing countries. The biggest factor regarding Freedom of Information Acts in the three examined Asian countries was the breakdown of the autocratic system, that is to say, the transition to a democratic system. This paper demonstrates commonalities in the processes of Freedom of Information Acts (between developing countries and advanced countries) on the basis of similarities of Freedom of Information Acts adopted in three Asian countries in conjunction with the breakdown of existing autocratic systems. I will also report on the background and factors involved.
