Abstract
For years, from observing the production capability of eastern Asian countries in their various aspects, in particular, those of Asian NIES, i.e., Newly Industrializing Economies, the author has located his basic viewpoint as follows: if we stop adhering to the concepts and ideas of OECD and analyse NIES in the flow of economic history, it may be interesting to look at the position in the world economy of Germany and France in the latter half of the 18th century when England was in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, or that of Japan ant the end of the 19th century when the United States was in the final stages of its own industrial revolution. In the same sense, as the 20th century nears its end, I would like to define those several eastern Asian countries that have been rapidly establishing their industrial infrastructure, as NIES(Chen & Hayashi[1995]).
