Gunnar Myrdal published his magnum opus, Asian Drama: An Inquiry
into the Poverty of Nations, in 1968. He was deeply pessimistic
about development prospects in Asia. The fifty years since then
have witnessed a remarkable social and economic transformation in
Asia - even if it has been uneven across countries and unequal
between people - that would have been difficult to imagine, let
alone predict at the time. Asian Transformations: An Inquiry into
the Development of Nations analyses the fascinating story of
economic development in Asia spanning half a century. Asian
Transformations sets the stage by discussing the contribution of
Gunnar Myrdal to the debate on development then and now and
providing a long-term historical perspective on Asia in the world.
It then uses cross-country thematic studies on governments,
economic openness, agricultural transformation, industrialization,
macroeconomics, poverty and inequality, education and health,
employment and unemployment, institutions, and nationalisms to
analyse processes of change while recognizing the diversity in
paths and outcomes. Specific country studies on China, India,
Indonesia and Vietnam, and sub-region studies on East Asia,
Southeast Asia, and South Asia, further highlight turning points in
economic performance and demonstrate factors underlying success or
failure. Including in-depth studies by eminent economists and
social scientists, Asian Transformations comprehensively examines
the phenomenal changes that are transforming economies in Asia and
shifting the balance of economic power in the world and reflects on
the future prospects for this continent over the next twenty-five
years. It is a cohesive and multi-disciplinary study of a rapidly
changing economic landscape, and makes an important contribution to
understanding the complexities and processes of development from
different perspectives.
