Exploring the evolving relationship between the two political economies, contributors from Asia and other international experts look at the ways neo-liberal ideology has materialized in Asian urban and regional settings and examine how neo-liberal axioms have been used to justify urban and regional projects. Readings reveal how neoliberalism in many East Asian regions is actually the outcome of highly sophisticated and conflictual interactions between the institutional legacies of state-led developmentalism and neoliberal discourses and practices. In essence, this collection of essays offers illuminating insights on the global effects of neo-liberalism while shaping our understanding of contemporary political-economic transformations in Asia.  \"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eHenry Yeung\u003c\/b\u003e, National University of Singapore  \u003cp\u003e\"A strong collection of essays that will make a valuable contribution to literature on East Asian development, state theory, and geographies of uneven development.
