Locating Neoliberalism in East Asia

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"However, this book has put on the agenda an importantquestion about the recent fate of the developmental state andprovided some thorough case studies, and perhaps it will inspireother scholars to take up this question." (AmericanJournal of Sociology, 1 September 2013) "It will surely find its way onto the reading lists ofMaster's level courses both in social science and East Asianstudies departments, as well as forming invaluable reading forresearchers and commentators more broadly." (International Journal of Housing Policy, 20 June 2013) "The editors' choice of locating neoliberalism at the urban andregional scales of analysis provides an extremely welcome andrefreshing correction to the dominant and now dated view ofstate-driven national development in East Asia. Written by leadingexperts in urban and regional developments, I am sure this bookwill have an enduring influence on the social scientificunderstanding of economic and social change in East Asia." --Henry Yeung, National University of Singapore "A strong collection of essays that will make a valuablecontribution to literature on East Asian development, state theory,and geographies of uneven development. The geographicalperspectives that the authors provide clarify the ways in whichneoliberalization, as promoted by developmental states, has beenhighly uneven and incomplete in socio-spatial terms." --Jim Glassman, University of British Columbia
