This book discusses the economic transformation of Asia in the context of the analytical debates in development economics. All the important analytical issues such as the impact of foreign aid and population policies are discussed in depth, followed by a survey of the available empirical evidence on these issues.

The Economic Transformation of Asia

One of the most significant developments in the second half of the twentieth century has been the rapid economic transformation of many countries in Asia after World War II. From a situation of widespread poverty and underdevelopment, and with bleak prospects for economic advancement, many of them developed into economic powerhouses. The excitement generated by the miraculous growth of these countries came to an abrupt end when the Asian currency crisis engulfed the region in 1997. This book presents a systematic analysis of the economic transformation of Asia, in the light of the analytical debates in development literature and the events of the recent crisis.

Asian Development: An Introduction to Economic, Social and Political Change in Asia

Asia is greying. In some parts of Asia, this is occurring at an alarmingly rapid rate. Within a few decades, these countries will have the same proportion of old people in their midst as many developed countries have attained over the last 150 years or more. While some Asian countries have become rich before they have become old, others will become old before they become rich. The economic, social and political consequences of a rapidly aging population in these countries are a matter of concern for all. This book examines the causes and consequences of rapid aging in Asian countries, using the case of Singapore to illustrate many of the issues involved.
