Description
The economic success achieved in the last decade in East Asia has brought about a fundamental reorientation in the Western view of the region. In order to contribute to a better understanding of present events and future developments in the area, leading East Asia economists and men of experience in Asian business from Asia, America, and East and West Europe have written papers on their research or business fields for this volume. The individual articles deal with problems common to the East Asian region and the Pacific area as well as with specific economic problems of Japan, China and South Korea. The volume is divided into four parts:
East Asia and the Pacific Basin
includes articles on supra-national issues, for example on the international economic relations of Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea.
Japan
includes articles on Japanese industrial and business structure, technological policy, exports and other issues.
China
includes articles on structural change, economic reforms, fiscal policy, agriculture and other issues.
Korea
includes articles on economic and industrial policy, restructuring, protectionism and other issues. The occasion of the publication of this volume is the 70th birthday of Willy Kraus, who for many years has been actively concerned with the questions of development in the East Asian region.
