Abstract

Recent decades have witnessed considerable academic and political interest in economic and social development in the so-called tiger economies of East and Southeast Asia. Economically, the reasons are clear. In the post-war period, high and sustained rates of growth gave first Japan, then the four ‘little dragons’ of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan (Vogel, 1991), and subsequently Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, development trajectories that were unprecedented in modern history (Morley, 1999). Territories that came out of the Second World War near the bottom of international league tables made such rapid progress that some quickly boasted per capita incomes among the highest in the world. For those interested in pathways from the periphery, the East Asian experience was a natural focus of attention (Haggard, 1990).
