Other participants included academics from East Asia and North America, and representatives from the World Bank. Donna James organised a session and presented findings from the project to the Political Science Association, Dublin, April 1997. Both Professor Ashton and Professor Green have been consulted. Singapore and Hong Kong have been visited several times, using the opportunity of teaching visits to further the research in addition to the budgeted visits. A second visit was made to Taiwan during July 1997, in order to fill a number of gaps which we had identified in our knowledge, in particular in relation to how the training system had evolved and how it was now working.
