Special Focus: Malaysian Economy
Malaysia has a relatively open state-oriented market economy that is still growing. The state plays a significant but declining role in guiding economic activity through implementing macroeconomic plans. Malaysia experienced an economic boom and underwent rapid development by the end of the 20th century. One of the reasons behind this was that the Southeast Asian nation transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. This economic progress had as a result Malaysia to become the 29th largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity in 2007.

Tiger Economies Under Threat: A Comparative Analysis of Malaysia's Industrial Prospects and Policy Options, by Shahid Yusuf, Kaoru Nabeshima

The remarkable economic recovery of Japan that started in the early 1950s and sustained rapid growth through the early 1970s served to define the iconic East Asian industrialization cum export-led model of growth. Since then several other Asian economies followed the example of Japan. Currently Asian economies feel threatened by competition from other countries and worry that their growth momentum might be flagging. This book is trying to delineate if this ascertainment is accurate by making a comparative analysis of the Asian economies, centered on Malaysia. This analysis draws upon a comprehensive set of techniques and indicators to assess competitive pressures, gauge industrial and technological capabilities.
