How can we account for the dynamic growth of East and Southeast
Asian countries? Much of the debate has turned on the question of
the 'state' versus the 'market' as exclusive (and often competing)
explanations of the successful performance of individual countries.
This book explores the distinctively interdependent nature of the
East and Southeast Asian experience. As firms create a regional
organization of production, the growing interdependence of national
labour markets is one major outcome.
This book analyzes the role of employment relations in the context
of economic development in some of the key Asian economies - China,
Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, the Phillipines, Singapore, South Korea
and Taiwan. In recent years, these Asian economies have become
increasingly more open and export-driven, and there is strong
interest all over the world in the Asian economic "miracle" - among
practitioners and scholars alike. Although much has been written on
this region, few books have concentrated on the human resource
aspects of this growth. The authors take the basic premise that the
success of these countries has lain in low wages and suppression of
workers' rights, but recognize that as employment relations evolve,
enterprises either pull out due to rising wages, or adapt and
remain - cases are provided to illustrate both these features.
Cases also test the hypothesis that unless a synergy is created
between firm-level and state-level human resource policies,
economic growth is unlikely to be sustainable.
