<p>At a time of robust worldwide debates on globalization, this compact volume shows</p>

<p><em>why</em> the region has performed so well economically relative to the rest of the developing world; <em>which</em> are the most challenging limitations to be addressed; and; several sensational controversies in the development economics literature to be sensibly resolved</p>
