Review "This book offers a valuable starting point for anyone interested in how Indonesia became a reputable exporter of light manufacturing products in the 1990s" (Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde).
About the Publication This volume provides a lively review of recent economic and political developments in Indonesia and addresses the issue of the country's "Technological Challenge" from a variety of perspectives. These include the policy foundations, the analytical issues, case studies, international co-operation and transfers, as well as particular challenges at the sectoral level and among both large and small enterprises. This is the first volume in English to examine these important questions facing the world's fourth largest country.
