Chambers, Nuangjamnong, and their contributors look at how the
development of the beer industry in East Asia presents a unique
opportunity for understanding the region's political economy. Asia
is both the world's largest beer-consuming and beer-producing
region, and the fastest growing beer market. Per-capita consumption
is lower than Europe, but catching up fast. Beer consumption is
also widely understood to correlate closely with economic growth
and urbanization, much more so than other alcoholic beverages like
spirits. With ten country case studies from both Northeast and
Southeast Asia, the contributors to this volume look at the history
of beer production and consumption across East Asia through a lens
of historical institutionalism and political economy. In doing so
they not only examine the development of the beer industry in the
region but also what it tells us about the countries themselves.
They ask questions such as: To what extent have state versus
societal actors influenced the path of beer production? How has
beer production changed? Was there a critical juncture at which
beer production abruptly changed course? A valuable resource for
students and scholars of modern East Asian History, and
particularly those with a focus on colonial history, industrial
history, and state-society relations.
