Business And Government In Industrialising Asia

This work compares the political economy of business-state interactions in the rapidly industrializing countries of East and Southeast Asia. The book brings together a range of scholars engaged in current research and presents new theoretical and empirical material on the political economy of industrial development in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to detailed studies on six countries (South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia) there are essays exploring the economic role of the state incorporating the latest debates in both strategic trade and neo-classical theory.
