Post-industrial development in East Asia: Taiwan and South Korea in comparison

This title purports to investigate and compare the economic development experiences in both Taiwan and South Korea in last two decades.

Taiwan and South Korea's economic development after WWII is a well-known story.

However, their development after the successful post-war industrialization has not been comprehensively studied.

The book examines whether the three factors - the role of private business, government policy, and foreign influence - that had contributed to Taiwan's and Korea's post-war development, are still relevant during the post-industrial development era.

Researchers in the fields of global political economy, Asian economic development and East Asian studies will find this book a fresh and invaluable contribution to the literature.
