Few observers of Mexico and Brazil in the 1930s, or South Korea
and Taiwan in the mid-1950s, would have predicted that these
nations would become economic "miracles" several decades later.
These newly industrializing countries (NICs) challenge much of our
conventional wisdom about economic development and raise important
questions about international competitiveness and export success in
manufacturing industries. In this volume economists, sociologists,
and political scientists seek to explain the growth of the NICs in
Latin America and East Asia and to reformulate contemporary
development theory through an in-depth analysis of these two
dynamic regions. Gary Gereffi and Colin I. Bradford, Jr., provide
an overview of national development trajectories in Latin America
and East Asia, while Barbara Stallings, Gereffi, Robert R. Kaufman,
Tun-jen Cheng, and Frederic C. Deyo discuss the role of foreign
capital, governments, and domestic coalitions in shaping
development outcomes. Gustav Ranis, Robert Wade, Chi Schive, and
Ren Villarreal look at the impact of economic policies on
industrial performance, and Fernando Fajnzylber, Ronald Dore, and
Christopher Ellison with Gereffi examine new agendas for
comparative development research.
