Ming Wan, Professor and Associate Dean, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University, US

Offering a coherent overview of the historical and institutional context of enduring patterns in East Asian political economy, this updated and expanded second edition textbook explores the dramatic regional and international transformations that this key region has faced since the 2008 financial crisis.

'This is a valuable and substantially updated edition. Ming Wan offers a discerning framework; consistent and easy-to-grasp evolutionary trends from the 19th century to the present day; insightful maps and data; and deep sensitivity to both regional trends and discrete national idiosyncrasies. Students and instructors alike will welcome its publication.'
