Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia

Most of the world's fastest growing economies are in Asia. These economies are developing very rapidly and are attracting considerable attention, both in the academic world and within the international business community.
Each book in this series provides a concise and up-to-date overview of one of the countries in the region. It examines its place in the world economy, its historical development and its resource endowment. The analysis of its growth to date is balanced by an account of its prospects for future development. The relationship between the different sectors of the economy is discussed, as well as the role of multinational enterprises, the government and the financial markets.
The interaction of political and social forces and economic growth is given special consideration, and special features of individual countries are highlighted.
