Title: Asia Pacific economies
Subtitle: a survey
First published: 1997
Description: The remarkable development of the Asia Pacific economies has caused much discussion of the region as a whole, often overlooking the differences between individual countries. Asia Pacific Economies redresses this imbalance by offering new insights into core issues, highlighting success stories as well as prospective weaknesses. Topics discussed include macroeconomic management; financial systems and domestic resources; environmental issues; growth, poverty, and income distribution; and third wave democratization. The book then concentrates on individual countries, following a brief history with an economic and political profile highlighting recent developments. Clearly written, this book contains a non-technical but rigorous discussion of public policy and political economy. Supplemented by a substantial bibliography, it will be a useful guide to this fast-changing region.--Publisher description.
