Northeast Asia, where the interests of three major nuclear powers
and the world's two largest economies converge around the unstable
pivot of the Korean peninsula, is a region rife with
political-economic paradox. It ranks today among the most dangerous
areas on earth, plagued by security problems of global importance,
including nuclear and missile proliferation. Yet, despite its
insecurity, the region has continued to be the most rapidly growing
on earth for over five decades-and it is emerging as an
identifiable economic, political, and strategic region in its own
right. As the locus of both economic growth and political-military
uncertainty in Asia has moved further to the Northeast, a need has
developed for a book that focuses analytically on prospects for
Northeast Asian cooperation within the context of both Asia and the
Asia-Pacific regional relationship. This book does exactly that,
while also offering a more general theory for Asian institution
building.

Japan, South Korea, Mexico, France, and Spain once exercised
significant control over the allocation of credit, and used that
control to facilitate economic adjustment and industrial
development. In the 1980s all that changed. Why and how these
states dismantled their activist credit policies is the subject of
Capital Ungoverned. The volume brings together five specialists in
the economics and politics of these various states to assess the
internal and global changes that prompted them to adopt financial
liberalization.Comparison reveals the distinctive political and
institutional logic that guided liberalization in each country from
the role of a newly dominant capitalist class in Korea to the
replacement of state financing by private financing and
self-financing in Japan, from the maneuvers of the banking
establishment in Spain to attempts to attract foreign capital in
Mexico. At the same time, these cases clarify the importance of
international factors, in particular the shifts that occurred in
U.S. policy as it sought to respond to the effects of uneven growth
in the world economy."
