Opis

The global economy is currently going through a period of transformation that has seen Asia emerge as the most rapidly growing, industrializing and modernizing region in the world economy. Whilst the rest of the world struggled during the financial crisis of 2007-9, Asia played the role of a linchpin for global economic recovery. This book analyzes the growth of key Asian economies in the latter half of the twentieth century, followed a little later by China. Notwithstanding the diversity in the region, rapid growth was instrumental in integrating the Asian economies initially in a market-led manner. Dilip K. Das focuses on the interactive dynamics and the process of integration in the region, exploring the synergy created as well as the resulting symbiotic growth among the Asian economies and China.

Written in a clear, comprehensive and critical manner by a world class expert in the field, this book brings together the contemporary academic and policy debates on the issues under examination. As such it is an essential read for students and scholars of economics, international political economy and Asian Studies as well as MBA students.

Recenzje

‘This is a marvelously insightful book, telling the story of Asia’s modern emergence as the engine of global economic growth. Professor Das describes the economic rise of the Newly Industrializing Economies, the dynamic Asia, and the flow-on to China as these countries come to dominate the world economic scene. We are moved smoothly through the success of the real economies, and guided to understand the challenges for them from the operations of financial markets where matters are more fragile. Professor Das’ splendid book brings the reader up to the minute with its analysis and lays solid foundations for our understanding of the future for China and the Asian Economies.’
– Christopher M. Adam, Professor of Finance and Associate Dean, Australian School of Business, The University of New South Wales, Australia

'This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of Asian economies, their interdependence, their impact on world business and China's role in particular now it has a new leadership team likely to deepen its reforms. Das's book on this important theme vis-a-vis 21st century Asia is not only informative and incisive but also highly readable. It deserves to be widely read by both academics and students, as well as policy-makers.’
– Malcolm Warner, Professor and Fellow Emeritus, Wolfson College and Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, Co-Editor, Asia Pacific Business Review.

‘The global economy is on the cusp of a mega transformation, and the dynamic economies of Asia are its epicenter. They have become the driving force of the global economy. Professor Dilip Das, demonstrates that a China-centric economic structure has already evolved in the region, but that it is still in the process of maturation. He has empirically studied the de facto and de jure interactive dynamics of the region, and discussed the symbiotic growth pattern that has developed. In this very readable work, he demonstrates the positive interactive influences that have favorably affected industrialization, modernization and growth among the dynamic Asian economies. The result is an eminently readable book which brings together the ongoing contemporary academic and policy debates. It will make a great week-end read in front of a crackling fire, but the insights gained will outlast the decade.’
