Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the Special Issue “The Asian Economy: Constraints and Opportunities”, we are pleased to announce its second edition.
Asian economies have long been considered to be a central driver of global growth, largely fueled by rapid industrialization and active participation in global value chains. In recent decades, however, structural changes have emerged, partly due to external shocks such as the global financial crisis (2008–2009), US–China trade conflicts, the COVID-19 pandemic, and current energy price hikes. These changes include slowbalization in place of globalization, as well as premature deindustrialization or servicification replacing traditional industrialization.
This Special Issue seeks to explore the challenges and opportunities arising from these structural transformations in Asian economies. We invite researchers and academics to submit theoretical and empirical contributions that address these themes. Submissions may include original research articles and review articles.
Prof. Dr. Hiroyuki Taguchi
Guest Editor
