Abstract

After World War II, several late-developing countries registered astonishingly high growth rates under strong state direction, making use of smart investment strategies, turnkey factories, and reverse-engineering, and taking advantage of the postwar global economic boom. Among these economic miracles were postwar Japan and, in the 1960's and 1970's, the so-called Asian Tigers-Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan-whose experiences epitomized the analytic category of the "developmental state. "In Betting on Biotech, Joseph Wong examines the emerging biotechnology sector in each of these three industrial dynamos. They have invested billions of dollars in biotech industries since the 1990's, but commercial blockbusters and commensurate profits have not followed. Industrial upgrading at the cutting edge of technological innovation is vastly different from the dynamics of earlier practices in established industries. The profound uncertainties of life-science-based industries such as biotech have forced these nations to confront a new logic of industry development, one in which past strategies of picking and making winners have given way to a new strategy of throwing resources at what remain very long shots. Betting on Biotech illuminates a new political economy of industrial technology innovation in places where one would reasonably expect tremendous potential-yet where billion-dollar bets in biotech continue to teeter on the brink of spectacular failure.

Abstract

Few observers of Mexico and Brazil in the 1930s, or South Korea and Taiwan in the mid-1950s, would have predicted that these nations would become economic "miracles" several decades later. These newly industrializing countries (NICs) challenge much of our conventional wisdom about economic development and raise important questions about international competitiveness and export success in manufacturing industries. In this volume economists, sociologists, and political scientists seek to explain the growth of the NICs in Latin America and East Asia and to reformulate contemporary development theory through an in-depth analysis of these two dynamic regions. Gary Gereffi and Colin I. Bradford, Jr., provide an overview of national development trajectories in Latin America and East Asia, while Barbara Stallings, Gereffi, Robert R. Kaufman, Tun-jen Cheng, and Frederic C. Deyo discuss the role of foreign capital, governments, and domestic coalitions in shaping development outcomes. Gustav Ranis, Robert Wade, Chi Schive, and Ren Villarreal look at the impact of economic policies on industrial performance, and Fernando Fajnzylber, Ronald Dore, and Christopher Ellison with Gereffi examine new agendas for comparative development research.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

This book examines, through an innovative conceptual approach, the relationship between job security and job flexibility. The concept of job flexicurity is presented to highlight the dynamics of the labour market. The concepts of rigidity, security, flexibility and plasticity are investigated to explore the interplay between different employee considerations. It provides readers with a new configuration of the dynamics of labour market mechanisms and emphasizes the influence of the concept of positional (vector) flexicurity. The important economic impact is demonstrated both on the employer (optimization of the structure of the employees, depending on their qualification and productivity) and the employee (the possibility - without prohibitive costs - to change the job to optimize their reward). Particular attention is paid to the Romanian labour market with an empirical case study that extends the ideas discussed. The book, both theoretically and instrumentally, will be relevant for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in labour economics and the labour market. Emil Dinga is Senior Researcher for fundamental research in Economics at the Romanian Academy and supervisor for doctoral and post-doctoral programs in economics. His innovative researches on Theoretical Economics, Philosophy of Social Sciences, Epistemology and Economic Cybernetics, was rewarded in 2022, by the Romanian Academy with the "Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen" Prize. Monica Florica Dutcaș is Researcher, Human Resources Expert, and Management Consultant. Her academic work takes place at a research centre of the Romanian Academy and focuses on public policies mix regarding the labour market, theme of the doctoral thesis. Her entire work targets helping companies and employees to achieve organizational transformation. Gabriela-Mariana Ionescu is PhD in Management at Bucharest's University of Economics Studies, and now is a PhD student at the Romanian Academy's School of Advanced Studies. She authored a number of scientific papers and book chapters on economic and social issues. Her research interests include social justice, social innovation, and economic and social inequality.
