Description

There is widespread agreement that the world's most successful developing countries in the 1980s were those in Southeast Asia.

Following in the footsteps of postwar Japan and more recently Korea, the populations of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines have made enormous strides in income, industrial and agricultural production, exports, education, health, nutrition, consumption, and other development indicators.

This book brings together political scientists, economists, officials of Asian governments, the United States, and representatives of the multilateral banks to analyze and explain Southeast Asia's extraordinary growth. Chapters and contributors to The Southeast Asian Economic Miracle include: "Recent Developments and Future Prospects of Indonesia" by Anwar Nasution; "The Economic Experience and Prospects of Thailand" by Sukhumbhand Paribatra; "The Development of the Former Indochina States" by Frederick Brown; "Trade and Investment in Southeast Asian Development" by Stephen Parker; and "Managing Renewable Resources in Southeast Asia: The Problem of Deforestation" by Gareth Porter. Among the critical questions that the contributors address are: Is the success of the 1980s and early 1990s a permanent part of the world's economic landscape?

How will this region react to the growth of China's vast productive capacity and to the faltering of Japan's economy?

What will be the effect of U.S. military disengagement caused by domestic budgetary concerns and the end of the cold war?

The Southeast Asian Economic Miracle is an important study of the shifting winds of the political economy of growth in our time-the movement away from a command to a free market environment.

It will be an essential resource for political scientists, Asia area scholars, economists, and policymakers.
