Rethinking Asia's Economic Miracle

'In this important and pioneering text Richard Stubbs shows that the post World War 2 history of East Asia can only be properly explained by bridging what have usually been treated as two separate narratives: a security narrative of war and ideological conflict and an economic narrative of growth and change. Reshaping the field of study, Stubbs poses a fundamental challenge to those employing narrow economic theories and models. This is historical political economy at its very best.' - Richard Higgott, Editor,The Pacific Review

In the new edition of this important contribution to understanding both the Asian economic miracle and the 1997-8 crisis, Richard Stubbs assesses the main explanations to date and updates the analysis to take account of globalization and the remarkable economic rise of China.
