This textbook provides a comprehensive, systematic treatise on development economics, combining classical political economy, modern institutional theory, and current development issues. Grown out of twenty years' experience of teaching in the United States and Japan, its treatment is global, although the organizing principle is the East Asian development experience. Taking a comparative institutional analysis approach, it also outlines quantitative characteristics of Third World development in terms of population growth, natural resource depletion, capital accumulation, and technological change.Development Economics addresses one major question: Why has a small set of countries achieved a high level of affluence while the majority remain poor and stagnant? One obvious factor is a the ability to adopt and develop advanced technology, due in large measure to the difficulty experienced by low-income economies in preparing appropriate institutions for borrowing advanced technology given their social and cultural constraints. This volume explores the nature of these constraints, with the aim of identifying the means to remove them, and examines countries where the constraints have been successfully lifted---most notably Japan and East Asian NIEs.This fully revised and updated third edition also incorporates analyses of several recent changes and newly emerged problems relevant to the global economy: recurrent economic crises in Latin America contrasted with the recovery of East Asia from the 1997-8 financial crisis; a paradigm change in international development assistance from 'the Washington Consensus' to the 'the Post-Washington Consensus', with a major shift in its focus from economic growth to poverty reduction as manifested in the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals; and the stalemate in international collaboration on the environment as represented by delays in the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. In exploring these issues, Development Economics provides important lessons on what institutions can promote economic growth, reduce poverty, and conserve the environment through the borrowing of technology.

This book explores the unfolding of modernity in the greater Asia that uniquely takes shape at different times and places, with a particular attention to a common thread that has been at heart of the development: religion. The status of religion has been relegated in the Western modernity to such that its effects be restricted within the private realm and not be exerted in the public or one's rationality. This edited volume sheds light on the multifarious forces of religion both in the past and present that have impacted on the essential aspects of modern society — aspects in which one does not usually have recourse to religion in the West — from science and technology, politics, and to identity in Asia. Interdisciplinary approaches in the volume allow one to broadly examine religious practices within Asian contexts, thus enabling to reevaluate the concept, scope, and gamut of so-called religion.

This book examines how Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping agricultural systems across Asia, with in-depth case studies of Singapore, China, and Japan. As the region confronts challenges related to food security, labor shortages, climate change, and resource constraints, digital technologies have emerged as critical tools for transforming agricultural production and governance.The volume explores the application of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), automation, data analytics, and smart farming systems across diverse socio-economic and institutional contexts. Singapore's high-tech, land-scarce model is analyzed alongside China's scale-driven digital agriculture initiatives and Japan's technology-assisted responses to an ageing farming population.By combining policy analysis, technological perspectives, and socio-economic insights, the book highlights both the opportunities and limitations of Industry 4.0 in agriculture. It emphasizes that technological adoption is not merely a technical process but is deeply shaped by governance structures, institutional capacity, and national development strategies.This book will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and industry practitioners seeking a comparative understanding of digital transformation in agriculture within Asia and beyond.
