Description

This course examines the contrasting histories of Asian economies in the modern period. Four major areas are considered - Japan, China, India and Indonesia. Focus is on the nature of the Asian economies and the impact of the West prior to 1949, and the history of planning in the four nations since the Second World War. Four specific themes are considered: the impact of Japanese development on Asia; economic planning and policy in China; problems of the modern Indian economy; and planning for scientific and technological development in modern Asia.
