Download or read book Taiwan in the 21st Century written by J. Megan Greene and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century Taiwan was viewed as a model - whether in terms of a model colony, a model China or a development model. This perception was based on the notion of Taiwan undergoing an economic miracle and political developments. Yet much of Taiwan’s history is unique and may not be readily replicable elsewhere. Written by an impressive line up of contributors from the US, UK, Taiwan, France and Hong Kong, this book analyzes Taiwan’s economic and political achievements, and asks whether it is possible to identify through the experience of a single nation – Taiwan – the makings of a replicable model. This book will appeal to students and scholars of Taiwan, political economy, and Asia-Pacific regional development issues.

Book excerpt: Policymakers and academicians in both rich and poor countries have observed the postwar development of Taiwan with a mixture of wonder and amazement. Characterized in the 1950s by per capita incomes of less than $50, hyper-inflation, and complete dependence on outside aid, tiny Taiwan has emerged as the thirteenth strongest trading nation in the world, moving steadily toward equitable distribution of income and the alleviation of poverty. Observers throughout Asia, in Latin America, and in Africa seek to understand how this "economic miracle" has been accomplished and ask whether the experience is transferable, in whole or in part, and whether the economic gains will continue. What must Taiwan do in order to fully join the charmed circle of mature capitalist countries? Looking at the island's economic and social system as a whole and on a sector-by-sector and market-by-market basis, the contributors to this volume reveal the path of structural changes that made existing gains possible and analyze current conditions and specific requirements for organizational and policy changes in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collaborative effort by Western specialists and some of Taiwan's leading social scientists, this timely study addresses the cause and effects of Taiwan's dramatic achievements in economic growth and income distribution as a market-oriented yet highly government-interventionist economy. The relevance of this success could not be more telling for other market-oriented economies as well as for the rapidly decentralizing economies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and China. Using a case-study approach, the contributors examine the transition to export-led growth, foreign trade, investment patterns, the role of financial institutions, fiscal and monetary policy, the educational and agrarian systems, and the role of women and ideology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the arrival of the twenty-first century, Taiwan was widely regarded as a successful model of a country which had not only transformed herself from an underdeveloped economy into a high-tech industrialised island, but had also undergone a revolution from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one. Taiwan is now experiencing a significant economic slowdown and facing multifaceted challenges including low productivity, stagnant innovation culture of small and medium-sized enterprises, ageing population, sustainable energy mix, pension reform, upgrading of human resources, devising competition policy to provide incentives for innovation as well as to limit abuses from monopolies, warding off competition from countries with lower labour cost and managing complicated cross-Strait relationship with China. The edited book looks at Taiwan’s past successful development model, summarises Taiwan’s current situation, outlines the future challenges beyond the year 2020 and provides policy recommendations in the aforementioned aspects. The contributors of this volume are accomplished veteran scholars in the fields. Several of them used to be policy-makers at the level of ministers or deputy ministers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s Taiwan has grown into a global manufacturing powerhouse, a model of success that has inspired emulation throughout the developing world. Yet at the very peak of this expansion, Taiwan began to feel squeezed by changes both domestically and internationally. In the Name of Harmony and Prosperity examines Taiwan's economic restructuring since the late 1980s. Anru Lee discusses the latest phase of Taiwan's socio-economic development, most importantly the dialectical relationship between its export-oriented industrialization, change in production processes, and discourse on work ethics, including the subject formation of women workers as it relates to conditions in the global economy. At the center of this study is the process by which labor-capital relations become fair and legitimate, and how they contribute to our understanding of Asian capitalism and its role in the world economy.

Download or read book Taiwan in the Global Economy written by Peter C. Chow and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-03-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A role model for late industrializing countries, Taiwan provides unique and interesting development lessons for third world countries. Once a poverty-stricken, resource-poor, technologically backward nation, Taiwan has become the hub of a global production network in many high tech industries with increasing significance in the world economy. In ten outstanding essays, written by highly respected economists, this book analyzes Taiwan's postwar economic development path, providing a valuable case study of its structural transformation from a labor-intensive to a technology-intensive economy. The book addresses three major topics. First it recaptures the lessons of Taiwan's experience. Then it considers the role of foreign investment on structural transformation and globalization. Finally, it examines Taiwan's economy in a global perspective, evaluating its role in the world market from the past to the future and its evolution from a colony to a newly industrialized country.
Download or read book Labor and Economic Growth in Five Asian Countries written by Walter Galenson and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1992-03-23 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores developments in the labor markets of five countries--South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines--which have undergone successful economic development during the past quarter of a century. This includes employment, earnings, industrial relations, and social security measures. While the Philippines' progress has lagged, the other four countries constitute the most successful group of the world's developing countries--offering a interesting contrast in approaches to growth. The author's methodology is comparative by specific subject, so that a correlation of developmental stages and the emergence of particular features of the labor market emerges. This study is unique in that inter-country comparisons are made in terms of specific aspects of the labor market. The work will be of interest to economists, political scientists, and sociologists concerned with problems of development. And it will be useful in pointing the way to successful development practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Communists gained control of mainland China 40 years ago, Taiwan has transformed itself from an embattled and impoverished island to one of the world's leading trading nations today, with a massive balance of payments surplus. The achievement is all the more remarkable as the country has scarcely any natural resources and has had to maintain an expensive defence capability, unlike Japan.
