T. J. Pempel analyzes policies and data from ten East Asian countries, categorizing them into three distinct regime types, each historically contingent and the product of specific configurations of domestic institutions, socio-economic resources, and external support. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePempel identifies Japan, Korea, and Taiwan as developmental regimes, showing how each then diverged due to domestic and international forces. North Korea, Myanmar, and the Philippines (under Marcos) comprise \"rapacious regimes\" in this analysis, while Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand form \"ersatz developmental regimes.\" Uniquely, China emerges as an evolving hybrid of all three regime types. \u003ci\u003eA Region of Regimes\u003c\/i\u003e concludes by showing how the shifting interactions of these regimes have profoundly shaped the Asia-Pacific region and the globe across the postwar era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e1.
