Description: "The Changing Politics of Finance in Korea and Thailand represents a systematic attempt to explore the causal relationship between financial market reform and financial crisis in an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. It examines the political underpinnings of financial policy change and provides an in-depth analysis of market liberalisation processes and their impact on the economic turmoil of 1997-98 in Korea and Thailand." "The book will be essential reading for both policy-makers and academics concerned with national economic governance in an era of globalisation."--Jacket.
