Abstract

This introductory chapter offers an overview of this volume, including a literature review on catch-up industrialization and a summary of the nine chapters. It clarifies that the ultimate objective of the volume is to reconsider the theory of catch-up industrialization by examining various industries in Asia, especially changes in their development patterns over the last two decades. To this end, three tasks are identified for the volume: the first is to closely examine the latter stages of the catching-up process; the second is to analyze the relationships between catch-up industrialization and other development mechanisms, particularly linkage effects; and the third is to highlight other newly emerging mechanisms besides catch-up industrialization that make a significant contribution to development in some latecomer countries.

Footnotes

It should be noted that the developmental state approach is based on the experiences not only of South Korea and Taiwan, but also those of Japan (Johnson 1982).
 
2
Also see the other articles in the special issue ‘Development Mechanisms in Korea and Taiwan’ in Developing Economies, vol. 35, no. 4 (December, 1997).

In actuality, learning and innovation cannot be clearly distinguished from each other. For instance, ‘innovation’ in Amann and Cantwell (2012) includes introduction of technologies that are new to a latecomer. In this context, the two concepts overlap.

See Szirmay et al. (eds.) (2013) for the wide ranges of difficulties that latecomers face in industrial development in the twenty-first century.
