[eChapters]Japan and China in East Asian Integration (Preliminary pages)

"This is an excellent and versatile textbook, as well as an intervention in the scholarly debate on the Asian economies. During the last few years Lim has paid particular attention to China, realizing that the Chinese and Japanese economies are complementary and dependent on each other. The chapters are free-standing, which makes it easier to use the book as a text, as the instructor can be selective, if needed." Professor Hans C. Blomqvist, Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration, Helsinki, Finland
          
          "Professor Lim's book is not only a discussion of the Japanese upswing and decade-long plateau. Most of all it is about Japan's position in the interdependent economies of East and Southeast Asia. What this book convincingly demonstrates is that, despite the rise of China, the Japanese will remain a major source of expansion and innovation in ASEAN, in Asia and beyond." Professor David Reisman, Department of Economics, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
