Book Description
China's ongoing transformation and expanding economic prowess has sustained interest in the models of Asian economic development. The earlier successes of the "Asian Tiger" economies of South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore and the historic and current preeminence of Japan as both a regional and world economic power, inspire more in-depth and comparative studies of these Asian models. "Growth and Crises in the Asian Pacific Rim" familiarizes the reader with the various Asian models of development, exploring both the strengths and weaknesses of these paradigms. Economic dynamism in East Asia during the last sixty years provides a multitude of case studies that illustrate economic fundamentals, such as the development of economic bubbles and currency crises. This book is designed as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate students and is accessible to readers with a rudimentary knowledge of economics. Although the book endeavors to explain the phenomenon of economic growth and development, the selections are written from various disciplinary perspectives such as economics, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, business, and international relations. It is appropriate for course use in other social science disciplines and business areas focusing on the study of Asian Pacific Rim development. The general reader seeking to understand the various modes of growth and development of rapidly evolving regions such as the Asian Pacific Rim will find the book's selections illuminating. Margaret Malixi is professor of economics at California State University-Bakersfield. Her research interests and publications lie in the area of international economics, open economy macroeconomics, applied econometrics, and Asian Pacific Rim development.

The Pacific Rim
Author: Peter N. Nemetz
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774842997
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
As the importance of the Pacific Rim as a global centre of large-scale investment, development, and trade continues to increase, so do the potential benefits that Canada and other countries could reap as a result of an increased presence in this diverse region. This book, a revised, and to a large extent new, version of The Pacific Rim: Investment, Development, and Trade (1987), integrates a broad range of current economic data concerning the Pacific Rim with some of the more important theoretical issues in the area of economic development and trade. It demonstrates the paradoxical combination of strength and fragility that characterizes the emerging integrated Pacific Rim economy and attempts to clarify the nature of the framework and constraints that face foreign investors and trading partners.

East Asian Transformation
Author: Jeffrey Henderson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136841121
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
From the re-emergence of Japan as an industrial power in the 1950s through to the contemporary rise of China as a potential economic and political behemoth, the story of East Asian development has been central to any serious analysis of the dynamics and trajectory of the global political economy. Integrated into a coherent, critical narrative, this book examines key political-economic and social dynamics that helped forge the ‘miracle’ economies of East Asia and continue to drive them forward in the volatile circumstances of our current epoch. It analyses the relation between the state and markets; the changing nature of economic governance and its relation to inequality; and the rise of China and its international consequences. Historically informed and comparative in nature, the book contributes to the analysis of the transformations of Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and China, and is the first to cover the ground in one volume. Written by a leading analyst of East Asian development, the book engages with the relevant issues and debates, in an open, non-technical language, making it useful as an advanced textbook not only for East Asian studies, but more generally in international political economy and development studies.

The Oxford Handbook of the Politics of Development
Author: Carol Lancaster
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199981817
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 640
Book Description
In many discussions of nations' development, we often focus on their economic and social development. Is it becoming wealthier? Is its society modernizing? Is it becoming more technologically sophisticated? Are social outcomes improving for the broad mass of the public? The process of development policy implementation, however, is always and inevitably political. Put simply, regime type matters when it comes to deciding on a course of development to follow. Further, political institutions matter. When a government's institutional capacity is low, the chances of success severely decline, regardless of the merits of the development plan. In The Oxford Handbook of the Politics of Development, two of America's leading political scientists on the issue, Carol Lancaster and Nicolas van de Walle, have assembled an international cast of leading scholars to craft a broad, state-of-the-art work on this vitally important topic. This volume is divided into five sections: major theories of the politics of development, organized historically (e.g. modernization theory, dependency theory, the Washington consensus of 'policies without politics,' etc.); key domestic factors and variables; key international factors and variables; political systems and structures; and geographical perspectives, inclusive of regional dynamics. A comprehensive and cross-regional examination on key issues of political development, this Handbook not only provides an authoritative synthesis of past scholarship, but also sets the agenda for future research in this discipline.
