Book description
Economic development in Asia explores factors that influence economic
growth and development particularly from an Asian development perspective.
Grounded firmly on theoretical foundations, it showcases the richness and

individual country case studies, institutional developments, and challenges

empirical evidence.

government policy makers will find the book particularly useful for
understanding growth and development trends in the context of a rapidly
globalizing world. With the rising tide of interest in Asian economies, the book
