Energy, trade and finance in Asia

Descripción

This study offers a vital reappraisal of the trade relationship between North-East Asia and the Gulf. Writing from a non-Western standpoint, Dargin and Lim make a compelling case for how these regions became economically integrated in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis. The historical role of India in connecting these regions is examined in-depth, whilst the economic modernization of China and Japan is also stressed. The series deals with aspects of social and economic history worldwide from the early modern period into the twentieth century. It incorporates titles organized around the following principal thematic areas: landholding patterns; poverty and welfare; demography and family history; consumption; medicine; industrialization, including occupational structures; urbanization and the urban environment; trade; and micro-histories. Books in the series offer reappraisals of the interaction of economy and society at the level of nation state, region, community and family. --Book Jacket.
