The article presents the particular problem of Korean agriculture that is torn between ever-dwindling domestic production and the need to cultivate a socially desirable level of domestic production. In an effort to assess the current international relations in agriculture and identify the way out of the current gridlock, the article uses International Political Economy (IPE) theories and puts forward two propositions: (i) economic liberalism is not adequate for explaining today’s international relations in agriculture, and (ii) the realists’ perspective provides a pertinent way of understanding the controversies surrounding agricultural trade. Further, the article advances the hypothesis that the global food system is undergoing a process of bifurcating into two distinct spheres: production agriculture (governed by states) and downstream agribusiness sectors (governed by transnational corporations).","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"156 1","pages":"255 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73755890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It studies respective government’s revenue transfers to agricultural tradable commodity sectors in 31 developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Fixed-effect and Driscoll–Kraay standard error models are employed to analyse the data, and marginal effect is used to explain the effect of political regime on the government’s agricultural policy. It finds that the more democratic the countries are, the more likely the governments are to reduce taxes on agricultural sectors. It also finds that high and volatile inflation and industrial subsidies are likely to lead to resource extraction from agriculture. It implies that while authoritarian governments are likely to discriminate against rural farmers by increasing the tax rate, their elected counterparts are likely to reduce agricultural taxes.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"43 1","pages":"201 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90469640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It identifies three models of gentrification, the “black hole” model, suggesting that very large, public sector projects may have little trickle-down effect; the “happy days” model, which provides needed residential and commercial space for the post-industrial economy, but appropriately sized sites are now very limited; and the “cooked frog” model, where in situ, piecemeal redevelopment may act to slow the pace of gentrification and thus help to retain socially mixed neighbourhoods for a time. However, while to some extent physically bounded, by following the predicted outcome of normal bid rent activities, it is also the most pernicious of the three models because it is self-sustaining and thus is likely to drive out original residents and traditional businesses over time. Each of these models points to an East Asian model of gentrification as well as raising important theoretical issues to contribute to the international gentrification debate.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"300 - 328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79862201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing Vietnam's performance to those of its more advanced ASEAN-3 rivals (Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand), the paper argues that Vietnam has overcome its initial technological backwardness. Nevertheless, Vietnam's continued ability to climb the technological ladder depends on the efficacy of its industrial policy as well as the vitality of its overall science and technological base. To this end, Vietnam should implement a more robust industrial policy to fully realize its current advantage in the telecommunication goods industry. It should “push” its cohort of state-owned enterprises to climb the technological ladder by tying state support to their export performances. In addition, Vietnam needs to strengthen its overall science and technological base. It would do well by investing in research and development activities, and cultivating a larger share of tertiary graduates in engineering and other technological fields.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"33 1","pages":"276 - 299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86337502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Chinese leadership’s assessment of the global power configuration and its trends of evolution will be considered. The articulation of the NMMPR also reflects new variables in Chinese foreign policy and Sino-US relations. They include Xi Jinping’s distinctive leadership style, the arrival of a less favourable international environment, the concern about potential deterioration in Sino-US relations, and the increasing inclination of China’s neighbours to adopt a hedging strategy, including the strengthening of security co-operation with the US.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"226 - 254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88778753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thomas Piketty, a well-known name in the field of Socio Political Economy, has addressed the issue of distribution of wealth in his monumental work “Capital in the twenty first century” using both qualitative and quantitative methods. He has focused on the evolution of wealth and income since the eighteenth century and readdressed some fundamental questions of economic sociology. Instead of relying on the hypothesis of others, which were more prejudiced without factual reality, he has used extensive database on the distribution of wealth covering more than twenty countries and over three centuries. He has aptly analyzed major theories of inequality of the past and has tried to overcome their limitation by establishing his work on the basis of above mentioned database. He has divided the book in four major divisions; Income and Capital, The dynamics of Capital/Income ratio, The structure of inequality and Regulating capital in the twentyfirst century.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"2017 1","pages":"329 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85401437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This contradicts the famous Main Bank thesis. Regulations on direct finance and competitive restrictions on banking effectively liberated the banks from having to develop their informational activities. These institutional factors also enabled the banks to extract regulatory and informational rents from client companies. Bank regulators were motivated to stick to the status quo without reforming such commercial banks. On an aggregate basis over the period 1965–96, corporate profitability negatively correlated with bank loan dependency, and liquidity constraints impacted on corporate finance.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"138 1","pages":"19 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73100782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Health-related spending is found to reduce income inequality, while the reverse is true for welfare expenses. The results also suggest that globalization strongly exacerbates income inequality even after controlling for economic, demographic and political factors.

However, design and implementation of their industrial polices have been different, leading to different industrialization paths and end points. This paper reviews and contrasts the industrial policies in the two countries on a comparative basis during their periods of rapid industrialization that precede economic and financial liberalization (1960–80 for Turkey and 1962–97 for Korea). Korean industrial policies were more focused; targeting specific industries and complementing this with manpower and technology policies. While import substitution has been prevalent in both countries, Korea has simultaneously emphasized export orientation and Turkey has not. Macroeconomic management was more prudent in Korea than in Turkey. Repressive financial policy together with directed credits were common in both, as were tax incentives favouring industrial investments.","PeriodicalId":53585,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Asian Development","volume":"15 1","pages":"179 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15339114.2015.1128843","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59904559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
