| Description: | ECO-277-01=ASI-277-01 This is an introductory course on the economic development in East and Southeast Asian Countries. The course explores the elements of emerging markets with a focus on the impact of capital flows, globalization, economic and financial development, social and economic inequality, social system, and poverty. Several Asian economies experienced speedy economic growth in the last sixty to seventy years. After World War II, Japan was the first high-growth economy in Asia. It was quickly followed by a set of very diverse countries, for example, China, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam. China and India had sudden emergence onto the world stage as active traders, investors, and consumers. Common characteristics of these countries' growth success are macroeconomic stability, relatively less inequality and investment in people, export promotion, etc. This course focuses on the economic characteristics and socio-economic development of these Asian economies to examine similarities and differences among them, how the Asian regions grew from an agricultural area into a newly developed area, and how the institutional environment supported the economic growth. Finally, it is worth noting that growth has also levied a toll on these countries' environment and has led to the rapid degradation of their natural resources. The goal of this course is to explore the key components and features of the rapidly growing/grown East and Southeast Asian economies and to analyze the development strategies and socio-economic conditions of the individual countries. |
