"Summary: The world economy is near a critical crossroads, as a rising China, the greatest-ever beneficiary of US-led capitalism, dreams to replace America's supremacy as a new hegemonic power with a non-liberal world order. This third volume of the trilogy on reformulating the 'flying-geese' theory explains how capitalism has changed industrial structures across the world. It asks whether the 'flying-geese' formation will survive the changes that have produced the East Asian miracle, and - as hoped - spread to Africa. Terutomo Ozawa's reformulated 'flying-geese' theory explains structural changes as an innovation-driven, ratcheting-up process of economic growth and shows that market-driven multinational corporations are key players for a successful 'flying-geese' formation and structural transformation. The book argues that the 'ladder' of economic development must be conceived as a double-helix with inter- and intra-industry rungs, the latter embedding cross-border supply chains and adaptive innovations. A thorough exploration of the structural changes under Pax Britannica and Pax Americana - moving from 'kicking away the ladder' from emerging economies to then providing it - demonstrates that this trend engenders multinational corporations that can facilitate structural transformation, particularly in catching-up economies. Ozawa shows that China is now in the critical transitional period that requires more sophisticated institutional, socio-political setups, as well as more advanced knowledge and ethics to move from the lower to the higher rungs. This enlightening, accessible and timely conclusion to Ozawa's trilogy will be of great interest to many, particularly those specialising in international business, economics, political science, and international relations. Academics and practitioners alike will find this an invaluable resource"

"At present time, the augmentation of "regionalism" has become a striking feature of international economic relations. The motives toward regionalism itself are complex: a belief that economic integration through regionalism is conducive to growth, disillusionment with the framework for global integration, or simply a defensive reaction to the formation or reinforcement of other trading blocs. Regionalism does not merely embrace economic perspective since it also emphasizes on the cultural, social, and political aspects of human existence. This writing calls for an analysis of the paths which Indonesia chooses in pursuing its policies and objectives in the greatly dynamic regionalism and international economic framework. This writing restricts its scope on three domains of observation: ASEAN, APEC, and G20 and beyond."
