Summary: Rapid industrialization combined with an overwhelming acceptance of a liberalized economic approach have seen the emergence of the Asia-Pacific Rim countries as major economic centres in the last two decades. This book captures the very essence of dynamism with which the 'dragon' nations-China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc.-have developed into economic powerhouses. In certain instances, even overshadowing their Western counterparts. The book is conveniently divided into three parts. Part A throws light on the circumstances under which these resilient economies managed to follow the earlier example of Japan, with a discussion on the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI). Part B contains elaborate profiles of the countries, dealt individually, of the Asia Pacific Rim region-China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and then Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and lastly Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. Finally, Part C focuses on the multinationals (MNCs) of each of these nations-how these MNCs came into being, their present status and competitiveness, future prospects, and so on.
