商品簡介
Ten years after the Asian financial crisis, scholars are coming to a consensus about its causes. They understand it was caused primarily by weakness in the financial and corporate sectors, along with pegged exchange rates, excessive and unhedged foreign borrowing and inadequate reserve levels. They also understand that the effects include more attention to regional economies, if only to compete against European Union and US trade policies. The contributors address the new trade agreements that serve as boundaries of this regionalism, the organizations and institutions involved, strategies toward Asian integration, conditions in Japanese and Malaysian manufacturing, rice policies, the credit crunch, contradictory devaluation and the role of the investment climate.
