How can we account for the dynamic growth of East and Southeast Asian countries? Much of the debate has turned on the question of the ''state'' versus the ''market'' as exclusive (and often competing) explanations of the successful performance of individual countries. This book explores the distinctively interdependent nature of the East and Southeast Asian experience. As firms create a regional organization of production, the growing interdependence of national labour markets is one major outcome.
