After
the 1997 Asian crisis, most Asian countries embarked on a serious
process of reform to revitalize their economies. This book begins
with an analysis of the reforms proposed and implemented in China,
Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand. This analyses focuses
on financial and corporate sector reforms and on the changing role
of public administrations. The authors argue that the chain effects
