What role do East Asian states play in the world economy? Can the
world-systems model originally designed for studying development in
Europe and North America be applied to East Asia? To what extent
has the rivalry between the United States and Japan had an impact
on the development of East Asia? Examining these and other key
questions, the authors offer a clear, comprehensive analysis of the
economic development of East Asia. Offering a unique perspective,
this book examines the origins and transformation of East Asia from
a world-systems analysis. In contrast to the literature's focus on
market, culture, state, and dependency, East Asia and the World
Economy points to the crucial role of geopolitical and regional
factors in East Asian development. The authors provide a cohesive
review of the world-systems model as it applies to East Asia,
exploring its intellectual heritage, the historical context through
which it arose, its basic assumptions, and its policy implications.
To illustrate how this model works in East Asia, the authors
examine the economies of Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, North Korea, and
Japan. The result is a fascinating study that demonstrates how the
world-systems model provides a more focused explanation of East
Asia's peculiar pattern of development. For scholars and students
in the fields of political science, economics, Asian studies,
international affairs, and development studies, this book is a
must. "This book applies world-systems analysis to explain the
peculiar pattern of East Asian development over the past two
centuries. . . . It offers a fresh and fascinating approach to the
study of economic and political evolution in the East asian
nations. The volume is well organized and written for both scholars
and students. It will make an excellent text for an undergraduate
course in East Asian Economics and politics." --Choice CONTENTS: I.
