Transferable lessons? Re‐examining the institutional prerequisites of East Asian economic policies
质疑东亚经济政策成功的制度前提(高效、独立的经济官僚体系)是否可转移,指出这些制度在不同东亚国家以多种形式艰难构建且结果不完美,但若理解为本土创新的启发,其他国家仍可从东亚经验中获益。
Competing theories of East Asian economic policy share the assumption that a highly capable, coherent economic bureaucracy, closely connected to, but still independent of, the business community, has been an essential institutional prerequisite for successful policy formation and implementation. In East Asia these institutional prerequisites were constructed in a variety of concrete forms with great difficulty and imperfect results. As long as the idea of ‘transferable lessons’ is understood as an invitation to indigenous innovation that takes advantage of the underlying analytical logic of East Asian institutions, other countries can reap important benefits from East Asia's experience.
