Book Description: Diversity and Transformations of Asian Capitalisms: Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy Robert Boyer November 22, 2011 Pages: Publisher: Routledge Summary: In "Diversity and Transformations of Asian Capitalisms [Insert Author's Name] presents a unique approach to understanding the current transformations of Asian economies, inspired by Regulation Theory. The book examines the growth regime of Asian economies from the 1997 Asian crisis to the subprime crisis, highlighting the degree of competition and insertion into the world economy, labor market organization, monetary and exchange rate regimes, and State intervention through legislation, public spending, and taxation. The author provides new findings that challenge traditional views of Asian capitalism and its differences from American and European models. The book sheds light on the de facto regional economic integration in Asia, despite unresolved past conflicts, which hinder the institutionalization of these interdependencies. It offers insights into the diversity and differentiation among Asian countries, widening over the last decade, and how they responded to the 2008-2009 recession and the subprime crisis.
