• Asia in the World Economy , Harvard University MPA/ID Program
  Focuses on comparative business-government relations in Asia to engage in current policy debates. Begins by examining alternative interpretations of the Asian economic miracle, the relative importance of business-government relations, and current crises that threaten to reshape the political economy of Asia. Next, analyzes national models of business-government relations in Japan, the four NIEs (Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore), the ASEAN-4 (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines), China, and India. Moves cross-nationally to analyze the regionalization and globalization of input (capital and labor) and output (goods and services) markets as well as related policy issues ranging from regional competition for foreign investment to prospects for broader and deeper cooperation in regional integration, to the near absence of such cooperation in regional security policies. Concludes with a reexamination of our understanding of the Asian economic miracle. Throughout, academic readings, case studies, and policy briefs are supplemented by a highly interactive Web site to gain access to the most current data and analysis.

• Asia's Development Challenges , McCleery, Robert
  The purpose of this class is to examine the rapid growth in many Asian economies over the past twenty to thirty years, the recent financial difficulties facing many of the region\'s economies, and their growth prospects and challenges as of today. As we examine various explanations of both the rapid growth and current crisis, we will explore a number of competing hypotheses. Were Asia\'s recent problems a result of the earlier rapid growth? Do they represent a \"bump in the road\" or an indication that past development strategies are now ineffective? Are Asia\'s problems due to internal strains and inconsistencies or external forces? Does the solution lie in more government intervention or freer markets? How are solutions to Asia\'s challenges conditioned on economic structure, political structure, culture, geography, and other factors? Are there changes that should be made now to head off future problems? To address these key questions, we will look both at the best theories and prediction of Western economists and also writings from the region itself, in English. The course will touch on development, demography, political economy, trade and exchange rate determination, finance, macroeconomics, and money and banking. Both principles of economics and international economics are prerequisites for this class.

• Global Economic Effects of the Asian Currency Devaluations , Liu, Li-gang; Robinson, Sherman; Wang, Zhi; Noland, Marcus
  The Asian financial crisis has precipitated significant changes in real exchange rates in the region that will substantially alter the volume and pattern of international trade. The crisis countries will increase their exports and, especially, reduce their imports. Japan, China, and the other non-crisis countries will experience more complex changes. The trade balances of the United States and Western Europe will deteriorate by about $40-50 billion as a result of the currency movements in Asia. This study, newly updated in August 1999, quantifies the impact of the currency changes on the individual countries in Asia, on the United States, on Europe and on other regions on a sector-by-sector basis. It analyzes the additional impact that might occur if China, thus far a relative bystander in the crisis, were to devalue its currency as well. It then examines potential trade policy responses to these developments including the risk of an upsurge in protectionist pressure in the United States.

• Industrial Policy in an Era of Globalization: Lessons from Asia , Noland, Marcus; Pack, Howard
  Globalization reigns supreme as a description of recent economic transformation—and it carries many meanings. In the policy realm, the orthodox terms of engagement have been enshrined in the \"Washington consensus.\" But disappointing results in Latin America and transitional economies—plus the Asian financial crisis—have shaken the faith in Washington and elsewhere. One response has been to hark back to the more statist policies that the consensus marginalized. In this regard, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are promoted as the poster nations that have derived great benefits from increasing integration with the international economy, without surrendering national autonomy in the economic or cultural spheres, effectively beating the West at its own game. The fundamental questions addressed in this monograph are whether industrial policy was indeed a major source of growth in these three economies, and if so, can it be replicated under current institutional arrangements, and if so, is it worth replicating, or, would developing countries today be better off embracing the suitably refined orthodoxy?

  Professor of International Economics, Stanford University, Stanford California focused more on East Asia and the great currency crisis of 1997-98 affecting Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand on the one hand, and the foreign exchange origins of Japan's liquidity trap and more prolonged economic slump on the other. Together with Kenichi Ohno, McKinnon wrote Dollar and Yen: Resolving Economic Conflict between the United States and Japan (1997) and is currently working on a forthcoming volume, The East Asian Exchange Rate Dilemma and the World Dollar Standard. Establishing long-term dollar parities for exchange rates as a "nominal anchor" against fears of currency depreciation and inflation in the smaller East Asian debtor economies, and against fears of yen appreciation and ongoing deflation in Japan, the region's main creditor, are potentially of great mutual advantage.

• Politics and Markets in the Wake of Asian Crisis , Robinson, Richard; Beeson, Mark; Jayasuriya, Kanishka; Kim, Hyuk-Rae eds.
  The fallout from the crisis in Asia has been immense. Asia\'s position as the global economy's growth engine is now no longer tenable. As the political and economic regimes that defined 'Asian capitalism' struggle to survive, it is by no means clear whether free markets, transparent and accountable systems of governance and more vigorous civil societies will follow. The contributors to this book argue vigorously that processes of globalization are driven by complex political forces and that it is not enough to look at economic factors in isolation. Chapters focus on the different political and market forces being forged in the wake of the crisis: from the highly ordered responses of China and Singapore to the chaos and disintegration in Indonesia; the money politics of Thailand to the developmentalist juggernauts of Korea. They put the crisis in its global context, reassessing its impact on the configurations of power and interest shaping global markets and analysing the role of the IMF, the World Bank and the governments and financial institutions of the major Western Economies.

• Prospects for a US-Taiwan Free trade Agreement , Lardy, Nicholas R.; Daniel Rosen, H.
  Taiwan has a special status for the United States, as both a leading high-technology economic partner and a place of political and security concern. The authors look at both the quantitative and qualitative evidence on the potential effects of a US-Taiwan free trade agreement (FTA), both for maximizing US economic benefits and for securing a prosperous and secure future for Taiwan. Their analysis indicates that the direct economic benefits of a prospective FTA would be modest and that the FTA could be most valuable to the United States if it leads Taiwan toward greater regional integration.

• The Asian Financial Crisis: Causes, Cures, and Systemic Implications , Golstein, Morris
  The turmoil that rocked Asian markets after the middle of 1997 and that spread far afield was the third major currency crisis of the 1990s. Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Korea suffered outright recessions in 1998. In an effort to contain the crisis, almost $120 billion was pledged in IMF-led official rescue packages. How could this happen to a group of countries that has been so highly regarded in the 1990\'s by private international capital markets? How could the crisis be overcome, and what changes are necessary to prevent it from happening again? Morris Goldstein provides the answers to these questions by first explaining how the Asian financial crisis arose and spread. He traces the crisis through its three interrelated origins: financial sector weaknesses; external sector problems; and the contagion that spread from Thailand to other countries. Goldstein then outlines what needed to be done in the ASEAN-4 economies, in Japan and China, and in the design of IMF-led official rescue packages to end the crisis. Goldstein\'s final remarks offer specific proposals for improving the international financial architecture.

• Ethics: Asian Perspectives , University of Texas at Austin
  This course is an introduction to the varieties of moral values and beliefs that have guided behavior and thought in traditional and contemporary East and South Asian societies. The course will focus on a comparison of ethics and morality, as they are experienced and expressed in cultural context, both among Asian societies and between particular Asian societies and the West. We will explore issues such as terrorism, organ transplantation, abortion, ecology, euthanasia, and how war and killing are understood and justified on the basis of ethical concepts.
