• W1516937476 abstract "DOI: 10.1355/ae28-3h Emerging Asia: Essays on Crises, Capital Flows, FDI and Exchange Rates. By Ramkishen S. Rajan. London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011. Pp. xiii, 175. Rajan's book is true to its title: his primary foci are on FDI and exchange rates within the framework of financial and economic crises and the role played by capital flows in them. He sets the tone and direction of his volume by arguing that Much of the prevailing discussion of the contemporary phenomena impacting the global economy is largely journalistic in nature, lacking any solid analysis or debate (p. xii). He goes on: Many scientific works are either narrow in their perspective or not easily comprehensible. This book therefore aims to discuss international economic in a straightforward manner that makes it intelligible to students of applied economics, public policy and international issues (p. xii). Rajan generally achieves his aims within the pages of five parts of his book that deal with (i) crisis, capital flows and exchange rates; (ii) exchange rate volatility, crisis and controls; (iii) global financial architecture; (iv) monetary and financial issues; and (v) foreign direct investment. While his focus is broadly on Asia, the book also contains a useful chapter on India that will particularly interest readers whose attention centres on that national economy. The book begins by reminding readers that financial crises hit Asian economies hard during 1997-99 and then again in 2008-09 when they experienced severe capital shocks. The boom and bust cycles that Asian economies experienced were reflected in balance of payments capital account data that evidenced the persistent crises and recoveries. His balance of payments perspective set the stage for the author's focus on the roles that foreign direct investment (FDI) and exchange rate regimes played in the episodes of crises and recoveries. The author's foci on foreign exchange markets, FDI and other balance of payments capital account financial flows provides readers with a fundamental linkage to the money and the real economies at national levels. This feature is one of the book's strengths. In addition, when he discusses foreign exchange markets two factors stand outothe maintenance of convertibility and the optimum mix of stability and flexibility (e.g., minimum volatility) and coordinating exchange rate and overall monetary policies within an economy. Rajan is quick to point out that coordination does not imply straight-jacketing all Asian economies in a common exchange rate regime due to differences in monetary policy approaches and their connection to real economic activity; that is, the generation of income, output, employment and price levels. For example, Rather than adopting a single immediately, East Asian economies might consider gradually moving towards pegging to a basket, starting with individual weights and varying of extents of flexibility around the pets, with a graduate convergence of time. (p. 25). The author pegs his discussion of exchange rate regimes to their potential impact on highly open real economies by noting that given the heavy reliance of Asia on external trade, FDI and capital flows, the obvious desire by many Asian policy-makers is to minimize volatility in understandable (p. 35). He further states that the link between currency volatility, trade, investment and growth is not unambiguous (p. …" @default.
