Economics 202 - East Asian Econ Development

'This course provides an overview of economic development in East Asia. The complex interplay of public policy, global competition, and domestic economic relationships in China, Japan, and Korea will serve as the core subject matter of the course, though patterns of economic development in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore will also be discussed. Special attention is given to conditions under which regional economies have successfully blended elements of import-substituting industrialization with export-oriented growth. The course will conclude with a discussion of the impact of the regional economic crisis, the current wave of reforms, and the potential for future growth and development.'
