"In Asian Contagion: The Causes and Consequences of a Financial Crisis, Karl D. Jackson, director of the Southeast Asia Studies Program at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, has commissioned a group of leading experts on business and economic policymaking in Asia in an effort to provide the most up-to-date overview available on the Asian downturn. Each author considers one nation - Japan, China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam - framed by an introductory chapter on the roots of the crisis and a conclusion discussing a cultural framework for looking at Asian financial institutions, today and in the uncertain time ahead."--Jacket.
