- Summary:
-
A form of regional economic cooperation that has gained rapid acceptance in Asia during the past decade, growth triangles bring together the resources of neighboring countries to foster economic development. The papers in this collection focus on three cases: the first triangle includes southern China, Hong Kong and Taipei, China; the second has developed on the borders of Singapore, the Indonesian province of Riau, and the Malaysian state of Johor; and the third is planned for development in the Tumen River Delta, on China's northeast border with Russia and North Korea.
A product of the Workshop on Growth Triangles in Asia, held in Manila in February 1993, this collection defines, explores, and debates the issues surrounding the establishment of growth triangles and discusses their potential. For each case there is one paper that addresses general issues, while others concentrate on more specific concerns, such as the role of infrastructure, public policy, and foreign investment. The contributors are all regional scholars, well-known for their experience and expertise in the field.
