Locating Neoliberalism in East Asia: Neoliberalizing Spaces in Developmental States

“However, this book has put on the agenda an important question about the recent fate of the developmental state and provided some thorough case studies, and perhaps it will inspire other scholars to take up this question.”  (American Journal of Sociology, 1 September 2013)

“It will surely find its way onto the reading lists of Master’s level courses both in social science and East Asian studies departments, as well as forming invaluable reading for researchers and commentators more broadly.”  (International Journal of Housing Policy, 20 June 2013)

"The editors' choice of locating neoliberalism at the urban and regional scales of analysis provides an extremely welcome and refreshing correction to the dominant and now dated view of state-driven national development in East Asia. Written by leading experts in urban and regional developments, I am sure this book will have an enduring influence on the social scientific understanding of economic and social change in East Asia."
—Henry Yeung, National University of Singapore

"A strong collection of essays that will make a valuable contribution to literature on East Asian development, state theory, and geographies of uneven development. The geographical perspectives that the authors provide clarify the ways in which neoliberalization, as promoted by developmental states, has been highly uneven and incomplete in socio-spatial terms."
—Jim Glassman, University of British Columbia
