Description
This book examines the long run of economic growth in East Asia from 1945 to the present, assessing the various theories put forward to explain the phenomenon, and appraising the various factors which have contributed to economic growth in East Asia. It charts the growth of the various East Asian economies over this period, and separates out the various key factors such as developmental statism, economic nationalism and enterprise systems. It discusses the role of globalisation, and the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and, overall, explores how far a single East Asian growth model can be said to exist.

Reviews'Provocative and stimulating.' - Cambridge Journals 'This book forwards the hypothesis that similar political and economic intituations created economic growth across East Asia. For the author, the parallels are so strong and different from practices elsewhere that he can speak of an 'East Asian growth system.' - R. Bin Wong, UCLA Asia Institute |
