This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of China is no doubt one of the most important events in world economic history since the Industrial Revolution. Mainstream economics, especially the institutional theory of economic development based on a dichotomy of extractive vs. inclusive political institutions, is highly inadequate in explaining China's rise. This book argues that only a radical reinterpretation of the history of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West (as incorrectly portrayed by the institutional theory) can fully explain China's growth miracle and why the determined rise of China is unstoppable despite its current 'backward' financial system and political institutions. Conversely, China's spectacular and rapid transformation from an impoverished agrarian society to a formidable industrial superpower sheds considerable light on the fundamental shortcomings of the institutional theory and mainstream 'blackboard' economic models, and provides more-accurate reevaluations of historical episodes such as Africa's enduring poverty trap despite radical political and economic reforms, Latin America's lost decades and frequent debt crises, 19th century Europe's great escape from the Malthusian trap, and the Industrial Revolution itself.

Download or read book The Port of Hong Kong written by Tzu-nang Chiu and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 1973-01-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong's one great physical asset is its port. Throughout the one hundred and thirty years of the Colony's history its economy has depended to an important degree on this asset. In this book Dr T. N. Chiu describes and explains the pattern of port development in Hong Kong, where he sees the present structure of port activities as the product of a long period of economic, demographic and political developments. One of the most persistent themes is that in the laissez-faire economic environment that has prevailed in the Colony, port development is due less to internal demand than to external stimulant, which keeps changing the port's relative locational value. Development since the industrialization of the 1950S represents the culminating stage in the struggle to stay high in the emerging hierarchy of ports. The author gives a balanced estimate of what has been accomplished and evaluates the planning of specialized port development in the context of the recent technological revolution in port activities. Hong Kong's economy has in common with the trend in most developing economies a firm orientation towards overseas markets, but the more or less unique circumstance in the Colony make this book particularly welcome. It will be of interest to geographers, to all concerned with the ways in which a developing economy adjusts to changing conditions, and to those with a particular interest in the phenomenal development of Hong Kong.
Download or read book Manufacturing Miracles written by Gary Gereffi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few observers of Mexico and Brazil in the 1930s, or South Korea and Taiwan in the mid-1950s, would have predicted that these nations would become economic "miracles" several decades later. These newly industrializing countries (NICs) challenge much of our conventional wisdom about economic development and raise important questions about international competitiveness and export success in manufacturing industries. In this volume economists, sociologists, and political scientists seek to explain the growth of the NICs in Latin America and East Asia and to reformulate contemporary development theory through an in-depth analysis of these two dynamic regions. Gary Gereffi and Colin I. Bradford, Jr., provide an overview of national development trajectories in Latin America and East Asia, while Barbara Stallings, Gereffi, Robert R. Kaufman, Tun-jen Cheng, and Frederic C. Deyo discuss the role of foreign capital, governments, and domestic coalitions in shaping development outcomes. Gustav Ranis, Robert Wade, Chi Schive, and Ren Villarreal look at the impact of economic policies on industrial performance, and Fernando Fajnzylber, Ronald Dore, and Christopher Ellison with Gereffi examine new agendas for comparative development research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a refreshingly accessible style John Weiss presents a survey of industrialization in developing countries since 1945, as well as a study of the predominant theories of industrial growth in the Third World. This authoritative text analyzes: * the possibility of different paths to industrialization * the dominant neoclassical view and the challenges to this orthodoxy * the importance of small scale industry * the priority of technological change to industrialization. At a time when globalization is becoming an increasingly controversial phenomenon, this book offers a powerful argument that despite potential difficulties with market access, integration with the world market offers developing countries the opportunity for future growth via industrialization.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The present research is an attempt to analyze the experiences of Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs) from the standpoint: of the dependency perspective. In turn, it is hoped that the empirical study can throw light on possible areas of refinement for the approach. The research has focused on the garment industry of Hong Kong. As such, it is also hoped that the study can further our understanding of the Hong Kong society as well as contribute to knowledge on the constraints and opportunities specific to the said industry. As a strategy to comprehend the possible facets and impacts of dependency, the experience of the industry has been examined from three particular angles, namely: the historical, structural and enterprise level analyses. It has been found that concepts and methods generated by the seminal work of Cardoso and Faletto (1979) have been of unmistakable heuristic value for comprehending the experiences of the Newly Industrializing Countries, fey these, we refer to some core concepts such as the 'situations of dependence1, and more importantly, the historical structural method. The latter stipulates the need to look for both structures of continuity and processes of change on the one hand, and attend to factors both internal and external to the country on the other. With such a framework, we have defined the 'situation of11 dependence' for the present phase Hong Kong as industrialization through the international subcontracting system. The economic space making for Third World participation into the garment industry has been the end result of interactions among three different forces: technological change, social struggles among different sections of industrialists and workers of the developed countries, and finally, unintended consequences of interventions by the states of the developed countries. The continuous influences of these world economic forces have together with some indigenous social and political factors, delimited the economic opportunity structure for aspiring industrialists of Hong Kong. Most importantly, the external dependence has defined the kind of industrialists that are most likely to succeed in the industry and at the same time, 'discovered* various kinds of casualised labor to be structured into a pattern of internal dependence. In emphasizing the active participation of local actors in the annexation of the economic space, we have pointed to the potentially strategic role of petite industrial production, which has a certain history in pre-war Hong Kong. Contrary to popular beliefs, this particular instance of Hong Kong's insertion into the world economy has not so much been brought about by giant industrialists from mainland China, British merchants or the Colonial government. Finally, our examination of the routine encounters between local industrialists and sourcing agents from theiii developed world has shown that the more resourceful indigenous industrialists have tried (quite successfully) to negotiate for themselves a greater measure of autonomy. This has been done on the one hand, by manipulating the compositions and numbers of sourcing agents, and on the other, by subordinating the casualised labors. The latter serve to buffer those industrialists from fluctuations and instabilities that this kind of industrialization necessarily entails. With these, we have reasserted the value of industry specific study of dependency and suggested that dif
