There is widespread agreement that the world's most successful
developing countries in the 1980s were those in Southeast Asia.
Following in the footsteps of postwar Japan and more recently
Korea, the populations of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,
Hong Kong, and the Philippines have made enormous strides in
income, industrial and agricultural production, exports, education,
health, nutrition, consumption, and other development indicators.
This book brings together political scientists, economists,
officials of Asian governments, the United States, and
representatives of the multilateral banks to analyze and explain
Southeast Asia's extraordinary growth.
Chapters and contributors to The Southeast Asian Economic
Miracle include: "Recent Developments and Future Prospects of
Indonesia" by Anwar Nasution; "The Economic Experience and
Prospects of Thailand" by Sukhumbhand Paribatra; "The Development
of the Former Indochina States" by Frederick Brown; "Trade and
Investment in Southeast Asian Development" by Stephen Parker; and
"Managing Renewable Resources in Southeast Asia: The Problem of
Deforestation" by Gareth Porter.
Among the critical questions that the contributors address are:
Is the success of the 1980s and early 1990s a permanent part of the
world's economic landscape? How will this region react to the
growth of China's vast productive capacity and to the faltering of
Japan's economy? What will be the effect of U.S. military
disengagement caused by domestic budgetary concerns and the end of
the cold war? The Southeast Asian Economic Miracle is an important
study of the shifting winds of the political economy of growth in
our time--the movement away from a command to a free market
environment. It will be an essential resource for political
scientists, Asia area scholars, economists, and policymakers.
