Book Synopsis Globalization and Development in East Asia by : Jan Nederveen Pieterse
Download or read book Globalization and Development in East Asia written by Jan Nederveen Pieterse. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Asia is widely regarded as the main "winner" in contemporary globalization, unscathed by the economic crisis of 2008, with its leading new industrializing nations and emerging economies. While twentieth century globalization was mainly led by the West, the twenty-first century is ushering in different dynamics. The re-emergence of Asia involves alternative visions of the world and different perspectives on globalization. This volume seeks to address these dimensions, turning to local reflexivities, notably in South Korea and China, to explore the key debates in sociology and political economy within East Asia rather than from an outside view.
