Abstract
‘Asian Tigers’ is the name given to the extremely successful economies of East Asia. This chapter begins by defining the group, then analyses their strategies for success, in particular their emphasis on export-oriented industrialization. It then describes the economic role of the state in these countries. The chapter looks next at Japan, which has provided a model for many of these countries, before concluding with an examination of the contemporary position.
