Among the key debates fought in developing economies is whether
globalization through liberalization is the means by which
economies can industrialize and provide their labour forces with
tangible improvements in the material conditions of living. This
book addresses this issue head on, using empirical evidence from
some of the fastest growing and transition economies from East and
South Asia. Countries such as the Philippines and Malaysia have
already started to deindustrialize before enjoying industrial
maturity, while with the exception of China and evidence of some
growth in real wages in the other economies, the evidence appears
compelling to suggest that increased industrialization and
integration into the capitalist economy have not succeeded in
providing significant labour improvement. The evidence suggests
that a proactive state, focusing on enhancing the material
conditions of labour, is pertinent to ensuring sustainable long
term industrialization and thus improving material conditions for
workers. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy.
