Description:

Appel The course begins with an analysis of East Asia's path to economic growth, and gauges the role of the state in capitalist development. Japan and South Korea are examined in detail in order to understand both the sources of growth and decline in the region. The course then studies China, a case of persistent economic growth and development in Asia. It examines the introduction of capitalist elements (such as market allocation of resources and private property rights) into a Communist planned economy and compares the Chinese experience to capitalist development in Russia and Eastern Europe. Offered every other year.
