Товч агуулга:Yap (political science, U. of Kansas) seeks to explain citizens' economic cooperation--defined as investment of resources such as labor quiescence and production investment in support of the economy or government policies--in the newly industrializing countries of Asia. Her model of economic cooperation stands in contrast to the "Asian development miracle" argument predicated on the idea of strong, autonomous governments able to command cooperation. Her systematic analysis and descriptive evidence from South Korea (1964-1987), Taiwan (1960-1992), and Singapore and Malaysia (1966-2000) instead points to the idea that citizens are more willing to invest resources when the economy is strong and demand greater accountability and transparency from the government when the economy takes a downturn, withdrawing cooperation when such are not forthcoming.
