12/03/2024 - Economic Development in East Asia: Perspective of Market, State Capacity, and Society

The Department of Asian Studies cordially invites to a public lecture titled "Economic Development in East Asia: Perspective of Market, State Capacity, and Society".

This lecture examines economic development in East Asia from a historical perspective. Three theoretical approaches are introduced. Firstly, the lecture reviews the neoclassical view on economic development in East Asia, stressing market function. Secondly,  the lecture examines the Statist’s view, emphasizing state capacity (the role of the state) in economic development. Thirdly, the institutionalist’s view, highlighting the state-society relationship, is introduced. Lastly, the lecture explores a comparative analysis between Southeast Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.

WHEN: 12 March 2024, 10:30–11:50
