Editorial Reviews

Focusing mainly on the postwar catchup period in Japan from the 1960s to the 80s, this volume investigates how intra- and inter- industry cooperation between public and private enterprises facilitated rapid technological advancement. Multistructured industry, family-based industrial networks and government industry relationships are all examined, in addition to recent examples of cooperative structure in other Asian late developing economies such as the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, the Republic of Korea, and India.
