Opis

This collection of papers stems from a recent World Bank project focused upon the contentious issue of whether government has played any positive role in the success of the so-called "high-performing" Asian economies. It goes beyond the influential World Bank volume The East Asian Miracle to chart a middle ground that recognizes diversity among the different East Asian economies, as well as the evolutionary nature of government intervention.

Recenzje

This volume will certainly gain empathy from those social scientists who are keenly aware of the importance of institutions and histories as key determinants of economic development. The volume is full of new exciting concepts. The Asian perspectives developed in this volume have succeeded in 'disclosing certain limits of the neo-classical approach which evolved primarily in Anglo-American academia' the stated goal of the volume.
