Description
Book SynopsisThis volume examines East Asian policy reactions to the global financial crisis of 2008–9 and the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98.
Trade ReviewT. J. Pempel and Keiichi Tsunekawa have edited a volume that succeeds in providing a comprehensive overview of the extent to which domestic politics across several East Asian countries determined their responses—and fate—during each of the crises.... Considering that the region seems to have learnt from the 1997–8 experience, this should be of interest to scholars and policy-makers in the region and beyond.
-- Ramon Pacheco Pardo * International Affairs *
[The book's arguments are made] cogently and with strong empirical backing.... Moreover, the essays on the region's different economies provide important nuances to the book's central arguments.
