Abstract
The eight countries included in the following chapters make up those which of all the Asian economies have proceeded furthest along trajectories of industrialisation and economic growth. The aim of this chapter is to provide a general context in which they can be individually and collectively located. In operational terms this sets the task as identifying some of the characteristics that provide the eight countries with common ground, that is, establishing them as members of a group. It is also to suggest not only that there is a group identity, but also that this group differs from one or more other groups that include in their membership the old, industrialised countries of the west — in North America, Australasia and western Europe.
