Catch-Up Industrialization: The Trajectory and Prospects of East Asian Economies

by Akira Suehiro, Tom Gill

Catch-Up Industrialization offers an innovative examination of the economies of East Asia from the 1960s into the first decade of the twenty-first century. The book examines the way the political ideology of "developmentalism" has driven economic growth, the significance of innovative production and management techniques, the patterns of industrial relations characteristic of late-developing economies, and the way education shapes the workforce.
