Financialisation and Development in Asia

In this volume a collection of leading authors critically analyse the emergence and increasing dominance of financialisation as a dominant policy instrument driving the development trajectories of emerging economies in Asia. Drawing upon a series of country and sector case studies, contributors explore the application of financialised development initiatives, assessing critically their implications in terms of the emergent risks, costs and inequalities that often accompany them. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asian Studies Review.
