"The rise of Asia has been one of the most significant phenomena in the world economy since the end of World War II. Yet, the development has been highly uneven across the region and new challenges continue to emerge as the process forges ahead. In this book Dowling has laid out a comprehensive picture of the regional dynamics and provided in-depth assessments about a host of issues that are crucial to the future development. This is one of the most informed, well researched, insightful and up-to-date pieces that promise to substantially advance our understanding of contemporary Asia. Students and practitioners in the relevant fields alike should benefit enormously from this excellent and timely book."
