Publisher's Synopsis
Despite a strong interest in the Pacific Rim and its place in the global economy, very few studies have sought to delineate the geographies of interaction that accompany the area?s growing importance. This book is a composite of theoretically informed reconnaissance studies of industrialization trajectories. The selection of contributors from a range of nation states having different 'national' models of 'corporate' structures and patterns and levels of 'integration' into the global economy ensures that each chapter incorporates a breadth of insight and empirical detail.
