After the Miracle

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Although there is extensive literature within various disciplines on how East Asian developmental states achieved their economic miracles, the follow-up story is little known. What happened to these countries after the miracle? Are there any problems associated with the way they achieved their economic growth? This course will examine the economic, political, and social consequences of the Asian developmental state model, such as economic stagnation, gender inequality, and the quality of democracy from a comparative perspective.
