Asia's New Industrial World
First published in 1985, Asia’s New Industrial World assesses the power and influence of four key corners of the Far East—Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Indonesia.

Michale Smith visited Japan, the Far East’s most potent economic force; Jane McLoughlin went to Korea to see a country in transition from deep dependence on traditional heavy industries; Peter Large flew to Singapore, where he found a small nation preparing for a major onslaught into the ‘brain’ industries of the future; and Rod Chapman travelled to Indonesia, one of the few Far East countries with its own natural resources to help dictate its future.

These nations played a vital role in reshaping the world’s industrial map since the war and were certain to become an even more potent force in world affairs as the 21st century approached. Readers will find this lively and accessible book an invaluable introduction to the New Industrial World.
