The book "A Region of Regimes" delves into the intricate relationship between politics and economics, exploring the dynamics of power and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region since the Second World War. It challenges conventional narratives of the Asian economic miracle by presenting diverse paths to high growth for certain countries while resulting in abject failure for others. Author T. J. Pempel conducts a comprehensive analysis of policies and data from ten East Asian countries, categorizing them into three distinct regime types: developmental regimes, rapacious regimes, and ersatz developmental regimes.
Pempel identifies Japan, Korea, and Taiwan as developmental regimes, highlighting how they diverged due to internal and external factors. He further categorizes North Korea, Myanmar, and the Philippines under rapacious regimes, while Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand are considered ersatz developmental regimes. Notably, China emerges as a unique hybrid of all three regime types, displaying a complex and evolving political and economic landscape.
In the concluding chapters of the book, Pempel demonstrates how the shifting interactions between these regimes have profoundly shaped the Asia-Pacific region and the global landscape throughout the postwar era. He explores the impact of these regimes on economic development, social welfare, political stability, and international relations. The book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power, politics, and economic growth in the Asia-Pacific and sheds light on the challenges and opportunities facing the region in the future.
