Collaborative Development in Northeast Asia

by M. Morishima

Overview

In Collaborative Development in Northeast Asia , Michio Morishima is concerned with an imaginary world as Joseph A. Schumpter was in Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy . Unlike his model, Morishima's explicitly assumes that both 'politicians' and 'entrepreneurs' are active in making innovations in the political and business worlds respectively. Only then would an Asian Community made up of China, Japan, two Koreas and Taiwan be possible. He examines how the Community would work and argues that it is the only hope for Asia's revival.

Editorial Reviews

Morishima (STICERD, London School of Economics and Political Science) posits an Asian economic community made up of China, Japan, the two Koreas, and Taiwan, in which both politicians and entrepreneurs are active in making innovations in the political and business worlds. He examines how such a community would work and argues that it is the only hope for Asia's revival. He discusses aspects of the past relationships between these countries, China's contemporary polity and communism, recent economic and political events and trends in the region, and the future of Northeast Asia.
