This book situates the evolution of the high growth economies along
Asia's Pacific Rim after the Second World War within broader global
political and economic changes. Specifically, it charts the growth
of capitalist economies in the region throughout periodic crises
and successive waves of restructuring, and links changes in the
world economy to shifts in the domestic political economies of East
and Southeast Asia. It suggests that the financial crisis of
1997-98 laid the basis for a new phase of regional economic
integration in Pacific-Asia.
Key issues examined include:
* comparison of patterns of state intervention and industrial
organization in individual countries
* history of US power in the region
* analysis of class and state-society relations
* how shifts in regional dynamics can effect changes in the world
economy
Through this detailed analysis of regional economic growth and
integration since 1945, "Capitalist Restructuring and the Pacific
Rim" concludes that the continued accumulation of capital in East
and Southeast Asia is undermining the material foundations of US
power.
This comprehensive survey of the emergence of Asia's Pacific Rim
will intrigue and inform scholars of Asian Studies, Sociology and
Development Studies alike.
