This ongoing  transformation has been both aided and stimulated by advances in  telecommunications, transportation, and information management. The  liberalization of trade and investment on the one hand and advances in  communications technology on the other have further promoted global  production networks in which vertical stages of final goods are  fragmented across countries. International fragmentation of  production, which enables international division of labor not only in  final products but also in vertically related components, is more  evident than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e  The book documents the process of international production  fragmentation and trade in East Asian economies, studies the mechanics  of the process, explores the theory behind the phenomenon, and  identifies important policy implications. It focuses on production  fragmentation and trade in East Asia because this is the part of the  world where the phenomenon is most visible. With contribution by  well-known international economics scholars from North America,  Europe, and the Asia-Pacific, the book distinguishes itself with high  global quality and rich regional content. It achieves a fine balance  between theory, policy, and empirical work.\u003cbr\u003e  This book will interest scholars of international trade, foreign  investment and international business, regional specialists in East  Asian economies, policymakers and advisors in international economic  relations, and anyone else who follows important economic issues of  globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461356479\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461356479\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1625-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 350\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340563771532,"sku":"9781461356479","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461356479_c0371f14-859b-442b-9bcc-bfcb6206e39f.jpg?v=1755044676","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461356479","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
