Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Asia has been a paragon of global development success. The dramatictransformation of the region over the past half century—with a succession ofcountries having progressed from low-income to middle-income and even to high-incomestatus—has been built on what has come to be known as the “East Asiandevelopment model.” A combination of policies that fostered outward-oriented, labor-intensivegrowth while strengthening basic human capital and providing sound economicgovernance has been instrumental in moving hundreds of millions of people out ofpoverty and into economic security.Yet East Asia’s economic resurgence remains incomplete. More than 90 percent of its peoplenow live in 10 middle-income countries, many of which can realistically aspire to high-incomestatus in the next generation or two. But these countries are still much less affluent andproductive than their high-income counterparts. Even as the region’s middle-income countriesattempt to move up to high-income status, they confront a rapidly changing global andregional economic environment. Slowing growth in global trade and shifts in its patterns,rapid technological change, and evolving country circumstances all present challenges tosustaining productivity growth, fostering inclusion, and enhancing state effectiveness.A Resurgent East Asia: Navigating a Changing World is about how policy makersacross developing East Asia will need to adapt their development model to effectivelyaddress these challenges in the coming decade and sustain the region’s remarkabledevelopment performance.“The world is changing. How do East Asia’s developing economies navigate this change?This is a commendable book on this topic—a must-read for policy makers, academia,and students who are interested in East Asia.”— Chatib Basri, Former Minister of Finance, Government of Indonesia“A Resurgent East Asia is a vital publication for the most successful region as it looks tothe future and the expectations of its citizens. This study helps to identify the new areasof risk and to suggest ways to ameliorate them. In so doing, it is an invaluable resourcefor governments. Based on first-rate analysis, it is a must-read for policy makers andeveryone interested in East Asia’s development prospects!”— Danny Leipziger, Managing Director, The Growth Dialogue, and Professorof International Business, George Washington University“This report delivers a careful and rigorous analysis of the strengths of East Asia’s ‘growthwith equity’ development strategy. While noting the model’s success in lifting millions outof poverty, the report also warns of the looming challenge of maintaining growth withinclusion, and it highlights the need for countries to improve their social protection systemsand ensure that opportunities are fair and available to all. A must-read for policy makersand development practitioners alike.”— Ana Revenga, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution
