Summary |
This introductory textbook offers a comprehensive account of the diverse experiences of the states in Pacific Asia. Organized thematically around government and business relations in the main sectors of the economy (industry, agriculture, finance), the chapters cover the historical, social, and cultural contexts for policies as well as the consequences of rapid economic development. They also discuss the increasing economic integration of the region, its impact on global affairs, and the reverse effect of globalization upon particular political systems. Chapters include introductory summaries, questions for discussion, and references. --Book Jacket |
