Alternative histories of development in Japan and East Asia : unthinking modernization, recreating lifeworlds / edited by Timothy D. Amos, Akiko Ishii, and Samson Lim

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 01:24:23 +0900

edited by Timothy D. Amos, Akiko Ishii, and Samson Lim. Alternative histories of development in Japan and East Asia : unthinking modernization, recreating lifeworlds. Routledge; Routledge, 2026; ©2026, Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia ; 200. ISBN:9781032800394; 1032800399; 9781032803128; 1032803126
"This book examines the history of development in East Asia in terms of material change and human-nature relations from the perspectives of people living in Asia in modern and pre-modern periods. By challenging the reader to “unthink” what modern development is, each chapter offers a case study which discovers and reconstructs indigenous forms of knowledge and local practice related to material change. In doing so, the book illuminates the point where modern notions of development emerged and thus aids in the process of understanding how they achieved hegemonic status. This in turn expands the notion of what development can and should entail and provides valuable pathways for rethinking our relations with the social world and the environment. This book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Asian development, Asian history and environmental history." --

Immiserizing growth fails the poor : theory and empirical research / Paul Shaffer

Paul Shaffer. Immiserizing growth fails the poor : theory and empirical research. Oxford University Press, [2024]; ©2024. ISBN:9780192870056
"Immiserizing growth (IG) refers to situations where economic growth does not lead to poverty reduction. How should this phenomenon be conceptualised? How often, when and where does it occur? Why does it occur? This book aims to address these three sets of questions drawing on a wide range of theoretical perspectives and empirical approaches. It presents a conceptualisation of IG which combines the notions of failed and malevolent inclusion, being bypassed and 'avoidably' harmed by growth, respectively. It addresses that second set of issues drawing on comparable household survey data from around 1990 using multiple poverty lines and time periods, and different measures of growth and poverty. It reviews explanations of immiserizing growth found in a wide variety of bodies of thought including the classical tradition of political economy (Mathus, Ricardo and Marx), radical traditions of scholarship, literatures on poverty dynamics and inclusive growth and empirical case studies. Eight categories of processes and mechanisms of IG emerge from these literatures related to: i) sectoral, spatial or other dimensions of growth; ii) poverty traps; iii) public action or inaction; iv) changes in relative prices or the terms of trade; v) technological change; vi) violence and conflict; vii) dispossessions and indebtedness and viii) environmental degradation and 'natural' phenomena. Part 2 of this manuscript empirically investigates some of these potential drivers of IG using econometric analysis, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and case studies. The various chapters of this book make distinct historical, theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions and further our understanding of a phenomenon which remains underexamined and inadequately understood"--

edited by Gift Mugano and Nirmala Dorasamy. SMEs and economic development in Africa. Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group; Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2024, Routledge studies in development economics ; 186. ISBN:9781032536934; 1032536934; 9781032536941; 1032536942
"Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are a driving force of the global economy, contributing up to 50% of GDP in some instances. They also contribute to economic development through various channels such as employment creation, economic growth and poverty reduction, key elements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, in many economies the majority of jobs are provided by SMEs. However, despite their support of the economy, SMEs are prone to several binding constraints, such as access to finance, market entry, as well as exogenous shocks and crises, most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. Building on evidence from international experience, this book provides grounded solutions to challenges affecting SMEs, particularly in Africa, and offers guidance on how to build resilience to counteract future shocks. It also offers a number of policy measures which governments in developing countries may need to consider in order to encourage economic growth and development, such as increasing productive capacities, training, enhancing business ethics and professionalism and improving competitiveness. What makes this book distinctive is that fact that it brings together the literature concerning SMEs in one place, and using case studies, it showcases how policymakers can overcome the challenges affecting SMEs. The book also provides tested and practical remedies for African economies with a view to making SMEs a springboard for economic prosperity. The book will appeal to advanced students, scholars and researchers, as well as policymakers, development agencies and non-governmental organisations"--

"Understanding Global Poverty introduces students to the study and analysis of poverty, helping them to understand why it is pervasive across human societies, and how it can be reduced through proven policy solutions. The book uses the capabilities and human development approach to foreground the human aspects of poverty, keeping the voices, experiences and needs of the world's poor central to the analysis. Starting with definitions and measurement, the book goes on to explore the causes of poverty and how poverty reduction programs and policy have responded in practice. The book also reflects on the ethics of why we should work to reduce poverty and what actions readers themselves can take. This new edition has been revised and updated throughout, featuring: a new chapter on migration and refugees additional international examples, including material on Mexico, Covid-19 in global perspective, and South-South development initiatives information on careers in international development; insights into how various forms of social difference, including race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexuality relate to poverty. Fully interdisciplinary in approach, the book is also supplemented with case studies, discussion questions and further reading suggestions in order to support learning. Perfect as an introductory textbook for students across sociology, global development, political science, anthropology, public health and economics, Understanding Global Poverty will also be a valuable resource to policy makers and development practitioners"--

"China's rise as an economic power has posed some challenging questions: how did China achieve GDP growth that was even faster than the Asian Tigers? Is the "Chinese model" superior? Why hasn't the rapid economic growth lead to democracy in the country as many observers expected? And can China sustain its rapid economic growth with its existing social system? Institutions and Chinese Economic Development: A Comparative Historical Approach explores these questions by studying the historical relationship between institutions and economic development in China, drawing comparisons with England, Japan and other Asian economies as appropriate. The investigation focuses on several junctures in China's economic development: the starting point of the divergence between China and the West; the externally-provoked industrial development in the late nineteenth century; and the contemporary Chinese Miracle. The analysis foregrounds the role played by Chinese institutions and examines their effects on both the country's failure to industrialize in the past and its economic achievements in recent time. The book also asks whether, without reform to the existing state institutions, China might still be subject to the historical dynastic cycles today, despite its recent economic success. This work is of great interest to students and scholars of the Chinese economy, economic history and institutional economics, as well as comparative history and Chinese studies more broadly. Li Tan is a retired economist and former senior research analyst at a large financial company in New York. Holding a Ph.D. in economics, she has also worked at economic forecasting firms, and taught economics at universities in the USA"--

Indian economic growth in historical perspective : the roots of development / Haruka Yanagisawaほか

"This book investigates the roots of rapid economic growth of India in recent decades, by exploring historical processes from the late colonial period. Based upon decades-long archival and field research, this book deals with the period from the late nineteenth century to 2013 and offers an integral viewpoint of the economic history of India. While critiquing the conventional understanding that links recent economic growth only with the development of high-tech, export-oriented service sectors under the liberalized economy, the book suggests deeper and wider roots of development that had a cumulative effect in three stages. Firstly, the agrarian development and rural socio-economic changes from the end of the nineteenth century. Secondly, the state-led import-substitution industrialization since 1950 that established the industrial foundations for future economic growth. Thirdly, the economic reforms since 1991 that helped technology-intensive industries find new markets with improved quality of production. For the first time available in English, this book by the late Professor Haruka Yanagisawa, who was a leading figure in the South Asia studies collective in Japan, is an important contribution to the academic tradition of economic history of India It will be of interest to researchers in the field of social and economic history, sociology, anthropology and economies of South Asia"--

The role of innovation and entrepreneurship in economic growth / edited by Michael J. Andrews, Aaron K. Chatterji, Josh Lerner, and Scott Stern

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 19:40:31 +0900

edited by Michael J. Andrews, Aaron K. Chatterji, Josh Lerner, and Scott Stern. The role of innovation and entrepreneurship in economic growth. University of Chicago Press, 2022, National Bureau of Economic Research conference report. ISBN:9780226810782; 022681078X
"Innovation and entrepreneurship are ubiquitous today, both as fields of study and as starting points for conversations among experts in government and economic development. But while these areas on continue to attract public and private investments, many measurements of their resulting economic growth-including productivity growth and business dynamism-have remained modest. Why this difference? Because not all business sectors are the same, and the transformative gains of some industries have been offset by stagnation or contraction in others. Accordingly, a nuanced understanding of the economy requires a nuanced understanding of where innovation and entrepreneurship occur and where they matter. Answering these questions allows for strategic public investment and the infrastructure for economic growth.The Role of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Economic Growth, the latest entry in the NBER conference series, seeks to codify these answers. The editors leverage industry studies to identify specific examples of productivity improvements enabled by innovation and entrepreneurship, including those from new production technologies, increased competition, new organizational forms, and other means. Taken together, the volume illuminates whether the contribution of innovation and entrepreneurship to economic growth is likely to be concentrated, be it selected sectors or more broadly"--
