"Developmental Cities? is a milestone for those who study East Asian cities or who are interested in the nexus between geopolitics and urban processes..."—Do Young Oh, Urban Geography"The chapters in Developmentalist Cities attend to the ways in which "developmentalism" in East Asia is not simply a top-down political imperative, but a geo- political economic process. While it is widely accepted that East Asian states are "developmentalist" due to their particular patterns of economic growth and industrialization under a strong central government, the authors in this edited volume collectively urge us to more carefully consider the interplay between developmentalism and urban space."—Bonnie Tilland, The Journal of Asian Studies
