Description - Business and Government in Industrialising Asia by Andrew MacIntyre
The unprecedented high-speed economic growth of key Asian states has been far more easily described than explained. Focusing on the core aspect of the process of national economic development - the relationship between business and government - this book compares the experiences of two newly industrialising economies of Northeast Asia, South Korea and Taiwan, with those of four Southeast Asian economies: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
The ten original essays included here explore a range of aspects of the relationship between business and government in industrialisation. The first section introduces the theoretical debates on the state's role in the rapid transformation of developing economies. The following section includes detailed studies of government-business interaction in several states. A concluding essay, by Stephan Haggard, reexamines established ideas about the political economy of rapid export-led industrial development.
The Southeast Asian countries appear to be following the manufactured export-led economic trajectory of the Northeast Asian NICs. In fact, as this volume documents, they are doing so on the basis of major differences in the configuration of relations between government and industry.
