Routledge Globalization and the Asia Pacific Economy - PAFTAD Series

This comprehensive examination of globalisation in the Asia Pacific region provides essential insights into how East Asian economies navigated the financial crisis and adapted to global market pressures. The book traces the historical development of globalisation whilst analysing the pivotal role of Japanese multinational enterprises in shaping regional economic patterns. It explores the social and financial consequences of market liberalisation exposure across East Asia, documenting both the challenges economies faced during the crisis and the strategies they employed to manage systemic risks. Drawing on empirical experience, the work examines approaches to international financial cooperation, trade policy frameworks, and corporate governance reforms that emerged from regional crisis management. This Routledge publication, part of the PAFTAD Pacific Trade and Development Conference Series, offers scholars, policymakers, and business professionals critical lessons from East Asian financial market liberalisation experiences and their implications for future regional economic integration.
