Other volumes in the Korea/UK Conference series: Responses to Change: Some Key Issues for the Future of Korea Corporate Governance & Privatisation Issues in Economic and Social Policy in Britain and Korea

This volume contains the papers presented at the Ninth Korea/UK Conference which was held at the University of Sheffield in 1997. The papers have been edited and revised but each represents the author's views as presented at the Conference.

The subject chosen was highly appropriate, first in view of the growing interest of the large corporations of East Asia in Europe in general and the UK in particular; and second, in view of the events unfolding in East Asia which appeared not only to call into question the future of the 'tiger economies' but also to threaten the stablity and performance of economies in the West.

Evenly balanced between East and West, the contributors covered a whole range of issues from the individual concerns of particular economies to the broad trends in the economic and political structure of the World Economy.
