Reviews
"This important collection of case studies is unified by a central concern to explain the ways in which the export-led industrialization of the four east Asian NICs is tied up with larger questions of political economy. By focusing on such issues as the importance of flexible specialization, the role of authoritarian governments in structuring class relations, and the centrality of global economic and security concerns, this book provides many significant insights regarding the extent to which the 'Asian miracle' is likely to be replicated elsewhere in the world." --RICHARD P. APPELBAUM, Professor of Sociology, University of California at Santa Barbara "A terrific collection of papers written by some of the region's most innovative specialists. A wide range of topics are covered in considerable depth. This book will help put East Asian economies into a new perspective." --GARY HAMILTON, University of Washington
