Summary:

Parallels between Asian models and models in developing states elsewhere in the world are strong. The scope of the book has therefore been developed to avoid suggestion that the issues covered are somehow peculiarly 'Asian'- indeed, it is shown that cultural relativist approaches to Asia are unsustainable.
