Rethinking Asia's Economic Miracle The

Was it mere chance that the most successful economies of the second half of the twentieth century were all found in East and Southeast Asia, a region of world consumed by confrontation and conflict? In this important contribution to understanding both the Asian economic miracle and the 1997-8 crisis, Richard Stubbs provides a systematic assessment of the main explanations to date, offering his own original analysis which emphasizes the role played by the Cold War and the general geopolitical context.

Richard Stubbs is Professor of Political Science, McMaster University, Canada.
