Editorial Reviews

Emerging from a program undertaken by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and financed by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, eight studies examine the political, economic, and security developments of east Asia and implications for the US. Among the topics are the relevance of the Japanese experience to democracy in the region, capitalism and The Miracle, the politics of Korean reunification, Taiwan, and economic growth and its political implications.
