Development Models, Globalization and Economies compares and critiques the different economic models available in today's global market place. The US or Anglo-Saxon model is often portrayed as the best, yet Europe has a well-known Social Model, and Asia has enjoyed success in the past wherein the "Asian economic miracle" was highly vaunted before their crash. But now Asia, especially China, is again on a roll. The book analyses how these models have influenced both regional and global development, and finally engages in discussions upon alternatives and the search for the "grail". About the Author John B. Kidd is a Research Fellow at Aston Business School, Birmingham. Frank-Jürgen Richter is the President of HORASIS: The Global Visions Community--a Geneva-based consultancy focusing on long-term scenarios related to corporate globalization and Asian business. Prior to founding HORASIS he was Director of the World Economic Forum, in charge of Asian affairs.
