Emerging Market Economies: Globalization and Development FROM THE PUBLISHER
Emerging Market Economies: Globalization and Development is the result of a comprehensive international research project co-ordinated within TIGER (Transformation, Integration and Globalization Economic Research). It deals with economic, social and political implications of globalization for the development of emerging market economies and is authored by a host of international scholars from the USA, Chile, Tanzania, UK, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Romania, China and Japan.
Kolodko et al. examine the fundamental issues of the influences of globalization on the markets for capital, goods and labour and for the growth and development in emerging markets including post-communist countries. The study includes a number of comprehensive and compatible works which deal especially with the chances for and mechanism of catching-up on these emerging markets.
SYNOPSIS
Seeing globalization as a "historical liberalization process" integrating "goods, capital, and (to a lesser degree) labor into a single world market," Kolodko (Leon Kozminski Academy of Entrepreneurship and Management, Poland) and his colleagues, supporters of globalization, attempt to describe some of the contours of that market. In a series of 12 papers, they examine different rates of economic growth in "more globalized" and "less globalized" economies, suggesting that "less globalized" countries are simply in a process of catching up. The lessons of transition economics are drawn from the cases of China, Chile, Japan, Eastern Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
