Learning from East Asian economic success: avoiding the pitfalls of Soviet-style developmentalist dead ends
Article Abstract:
The economic strategies adopted by East Asian countries continue to spur the rapid development of the region. In contrast, Soviet-style developmentalism emulated by several countries has led to economic crisis. However, countries may find difficulties in adopting the institutions and policies contributing to East Asian growth due to historical and cultural differences. A consensus will still have to be reached on the true lessons of East Asia's economic achievements.
