Pacific Cooperation and Development - by George Kozmetsky & Hiroshi Matsumoto & Raymond W Smilor Hardcover

About the Book

This volume brings together business, government and academic representatives from the United States, Pacific and Asian nations to address issues of regional economic cooperation in the Pacific Basin. The contributors focus particularly on cooperation in five areas: development, commodities, technology, human resources, and issues and directions. Their papers explore both the broad questions of cooperation in regional economic development and more practical concerns such as appropriate technology, political constraints, and foreign aid. Invaluable supplemental reading for courses in economic development and comparative economics, Pacific Cooperation and Development provides important new insights into the dynamics of economic development in an increasingly critical global market.
