Synopsis

First Published in 2004. This remarkable book continues the work begun by Ian Jeffries in Socialist Economies and the Transition to the Market: A Guide (1993) and A Guide to the Economies in Transition (1996). Focusing on China, Cuba, Mongolia, North Korea and Vietnam, Jeffries provides an extensive guide to countries in a state of economic flux. Analysing major political as well as economic events in these five countries, the author also looks at issues such as the impact of the Asian financial crisis. The work covers the period from the mid-1990s to the turn of the century, and presents a clear, detailed and accessible breakdown of the developments in each country. Providing a unique level of coverage, this book will be an invaluable source of reference for anyone interested in transitional and developing countries. This book is the first of a projected three volumes. The forthcoming titles are The Countries of Eastern Europe at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century: A Guide to Economies in Transition, and The Countries of the Former Soviet Union at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century: A Guide to Economies in Transition.
