"This is an interesting book as it not only examines the catch-up experience of the successful industrializers of Republic of Korea and Taiwan, but also offers rich, on the ground, clustering experience of Hsinchu and Suvon. It is a welcome edition to studies on industrial policy experience for latecomers." - Dato' Dr. Rajah Rasiah, Distinguished Professor, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. "This book features many development policy lessons from Korea and Taiwan. It lays out convincing perspectives on the industrial catching-up and inclusive growth and demonstrates the economic value of agility for small economies. The book makes important contributions to the literature of innovation and development studies." -Keun Lee, Distinguished Professor, Seoul National University; Winner of Schumpeter Prize. "This is an excellent book which focuses on a comparison between the Korean and Taiwan models. Both countries have a remarkable achievement in high-tech development, but they are also facing their own domestic challenges. The discussion in this book can surely make an important contribution to the understanding of these two Asian Tigers." -Gee San, Professor Emeritus, National Central University, Taiwan. This book explores how small nations can mobilise and use productive activities to generate inclusive growth and rapidly move up the economic ladder. In this study, Dr. Wong explores how Korea and Taiwan came to balance between commanding critical technological competencies and driving inclusive-economic agendas and ultimately culminates decades of moving up the value chain for the two Asian dynamos. In a world dominated by superpowers, Dr. Wong demonstrates how agile, nimble mid-sized economies can move fast, innovate and achieve post industrial catch-up development. This book will interest scholars of the Asian manufacturing sector, those with an interest in the role semiconductors play in the global economy, and scholars of Asian development. Chan-Yuan Wong is presently a faculty at Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) of Taiwan. He has studied and worked around the region, from Thailand to Malaysia to Korea.

"Since 2009, the Government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has eloquently embarked on the path of Digital Bangladesh to step into the higher rung of the development ladder, leading to transform the country into a developing nation by 2021 and subsequently a prosperous country by 2041. Digitalization efforts touched every sphere of socio-economic transformation during the last decade. The book "Digital Transformation and Economic Development in Bangladesh: Rethinking Digitalization Strategies for Leapfrogging" by Monzur Hossain has come up in a time when it would be highly demanded and fill the knowledge gap in the efforts to climb up on the ladder of development by utilizing the full potential of digitalization. The book very succinctly shows how digital transformation strategies enhance productivity and economic growth, facilitating leapfrogging for sustainable development. I feel the book is a must-read by development practitioners, planners, change agents, young learners, and everyone interested in technological breakthroughs ensuing industrial revolutions to come. I congratulate the author for this time-befitting work." - Professor Dr. Shamsul Alam, Minister of State, Ministry of Planning, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, and former Member (Senior Secretary) of the General Economics Division, Ministry of Planning. This book assesses the digital Bangladesh initiative of the government through different lenses: supply-side and demand-side perspectives and policy diffusions. The Bangladesh government has been pursuing a big-push policy for digitalization, namely the "Digital Bangladesh Vision," since 2009 as a shifting development strategy to leapfrog into the next level of development with the leverage of demographic dividend. However, historical anecdotes, dictated policy, international success stories and other related issues could lead to a rethinking on ICT-based development strategy. The content of the book draws on the author's long-standing research works on ICTs and economic growth in Bangladesh. Monzur Hossain is a Research Director at the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS), Dhaka. He holds a Ph.D. in International Economics from the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Tokyo, Japan. With extensive research focused on evaluating and analyzing development interventions and economic policies, he got interests in some emerging development issues, particularly ICTs and knowledge economy. He has published extensively in nationally and internationally accredited journals, and he also has numerous other publications to his credit in the form of research reports and edited volumes. He recently edited a book titled "Bangladesh's Macroeconomic Policy," published by Palgrave Macmillan in February 2020.

This book attempts to reflect on the changes that Vietnam has experienced over the past 30 years, during and after DoiMoi. Through multi-dimensional empirical investigations, it aims to offer theoretical and empirical accounts for how a variety of socioeconomic regimes emerged after the end of the Cold War. Being methodologically pluralist (including both theoretical and empirical studies), it aims to give a higher profile to heterodox thinking in comparative political economy. Particular attention is given to post-socialist governance, economic transformation, land rights, trade-led growth, civil society participation, climate change, and the post-COVID 19 recovery. This book comes at a time when great changes are about to take place in Southeast Asia, where heterodox economic development strategy is rather understudied. With Asia playing an increasingly important role in the world economy, readers wish not only to hear about the economic transformation but also to see certain hidden aspects or original evidence in order that they can perceive the other dimensions put in place in a market-oriented economy. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in transitional economics, development economics and the political economy. Thi Anh-Dao TRAN is Associate Professor of Economics and Research Affiliate at LASTA (University of Rouen Normandy, France). From 2018 to 2020, she was posted to the Research Institute on Contemporary Southeast Asia (IRASEC-CNRS) and was hosted by the Southern Institute of Social Sciences (SISS-Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences).

This book compares the experiences of the Philippines and Vietnam to gain insight into how openness to trade and financing can increase prosperity. In contrast, theoretical and empirical work in the 20th and early 21st centuries have returned mixed results regarding this assertion. The book also demonstrates the impracticality of any attempt to pursue prosperity in isolation. Chapter 1 discusses recent data and research on international trade and capital mobility. Chapter 2 describes the economy of Vietnam that has grown rapidly since beginning to open in 1994. Chapter 3 relates the stagnation of the Philippines as it remained closed from 1960 to 1994 and examines the recent rapid growth in spite of the continued relative restrictiveness of Philippine policy. Chapter 4 compares the two experiences and then conjectures about the feasibility of a prosperous autarky. Roderick Macdonald lectures in international business at the International School of Business of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City.
