Opis

Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan - east Asia's newly industrialized economies (the NIE-3) - experienced a profound development transformation over recent decades. Christopher Dent makes a comparative study of their foreign economic policies, highlighting how the NIE-3 have engaged with the international economic system in an increasingly dynamic way. The book develops a new-macroframework of foreign economic policy analysis that provides the structure for this study. The author argues that the "development context" of the NIE-3's foreign economic policies is grounded in their common development statism and semi-peripheralization. He further contends that it is the pursuit of economic security that primarily motivates their respective foreign economic policies.
