This book analyzes the economic impact of the early development of
railways in different Asian countries, linking the inlands with
port cities and with a global network of connections. This is
looked at in the context of the rise of imperialism in the last
decades of the 19th century and the redistribution of spheres of
influence in Asia. The book considers the increase of exports of
plantation economies in the context of the global market and the
importance of China, and the struggle between the great powers for
the economic penetration in the Chinese empire. Its comparative
approach provides an original contribution to global economic
history and will be valuable reading for students and researchers
of economic history, transport economics, and Asian history more
broadly.
