In Drums of War, Drums of Development, Jim Glassman analyses the
geopolitical economy of industrial development in East and
Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War era, showing how it was
shaped by the collaborative planning of US and Asian elites.
Challenging both neoliberal and neo-Weberian accounts of East Asian
development, Glassman offers evidence that the growth of industry
(the "East Asian miracle") was deeply affected by the geopolitics
of war and military spending (the "East Asian massacres"). Thus,
while Asian industrial development has been presented as providing
models for emulation, Glassman cautions that this industrial
dynamism was a product of Pacific ruling class manoeuvring which
left a contradictory legacy of rapid growth, death, and ongoing
challenges for development and democracy.
