This series, the
first
of its kind, examines both the objective and subjective
dimensions of life quality in Asia, especially East Asia. It unravels and compares
the contours, dynamics and patterns of building nations by offering innovative works
that discuss basic and applied research and emphasizing inter- and multi-disciplinary
approaches to the various domains of life quality. The series appeals to a
variety of
fields
in humanities, social sciences and other professional disciplines.
Asia is the largest, most populous continent on Earth, and it is home to the world’s
most dynamic region, East Asia. In the past three decades, East Asia has been the
most successful region in the world in expanding its economies and integrating
them into the global economy, offering lessons on how poor countries, even with
limited natural resources, can achieve rapid economic development. Yet while
scholars and policymakers have focused on why East Asia has prospered, little
has been written on how its economic expansion has affected the quality of life of
its citizens. This series publish several volumes a year, either single or multiple-
authored monographs or collections of essays.
