Reviews

[T]his book gives the reader insights into Taiwan's developmental experience and the direction in which, under different circumstances, the Chinese post-war development of Taiwan might have proceeded. The work will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the economic and political history and development of Taiwan. More broadly, it will also appeal to scholars and students of China's historical and contemporary development, Asian economics, and Asian studies. - Cheng Linsun, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth; Journal of International and Global Studies Vol. 3, No. 2 Spring 2012 'The chapters are particularly convincing in demonstrating the significance of technocratic elites to Taiwan's shift to a market economy, and the volume overall would appeal to students and scholars of East Asian economic development.' - Fritz Gaenslen; JOURNAL OF CHINESE POLITICAL SCIENCE (2013)
