The shifting balance of economic power away from Western Europe and the United States and towards East and Southeast Asia - firstly Japan, then the small 'Tiger' economies, and now the larger nations of Southeast Asia and China, the potential 'Dragons' - has provoked anger, dismay and a search for the 'secrets' of growth and for 'lessons' to be learned. The Rise of Asia brings together recent scholarship analysing the process of economic, social and political development in East and Southeast Asia from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.

Industry Reviews

'Those who are looking for a standard text on the subject can be assured of this book's lively appeal.' - Sukhan Jackson, Asian Studies Association of Australia 2000 'In this textbook Tipton...shows not only competence in his summaries of the economic history of the states of East and Southeast Asia but also skill in his portrayal of the hypotheses of major theorists. His book promises to inform a new generation of undergraduates and also to enhance senior scholars' understanding of economic development in Asia...and in Europe.' - Stephen Hoadley, University of Auckland '...suitable for broad introductory courses balancing coverage of Japan, China, Korea and South-East Asia.' - Gilbert Rozman, The China Quarterly
