Sheridan, Kyoko (Ed) : Emerging Economic Systems in Asia: A political and economic survey

Australia: Allen & Unwin, 1998

First edition, first printing, paperback, near fine condition, near fine glossy card covers, 324 pages including index, price sticker to rear cover $252, -----------------"What economic systems are emerging in Asia? What drives them? What other countries influence them? What are their potentials and limitations, and what threats and opportunities are they creating? These are just some of the questions sought to be answered by this innovative collection of essays. It is an expansive study of some key Asian economies, taking into account their political, social and geographic realities. Rather than a simple account of their statistical development, a cross-disciplinary approach is used to deepen understanding of their economic environment, economic behaviour, and their economic and social motivations. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the ASEAN economies, Vietnam, Russia, China and the Overseas Chinese are all subject to this analysis, capturing the motivations and mechanisms which drive these diverse economies. While each society organises its economic activities according to its own internal logic and needs, the contributors ask whether there is any useful 'Asian' economic model, a north-east or south-east Asian model, or none at all.
