Rise & Fall of Auth. DevelopmentalismEstablished under severe threat to national security or unityOften by military coupReplaces a previous weak governmentEconomic growth legitimizes the regimeOver time, its own success undermines legitimacy and leads to democratic transition (Korea, Taiwan)

Redefining Good GovernanceTo initiate trade-driven growth, different and narrower conditions are needed--Strong leadership with ownership--Administrative mechanisms for policy consistency and effective implementationHigh-performing East Asia did not have--Transparency, accountability, participatory process, clean government, privatization, free trade (maybe not necessary for initiating growth?)

Role of Regional CooperationTo maintain Asian dynamism, regional efforts are essentialAvoid or remove difficulties and crisesSupport the private sector from sidelinesPresent visions to reduce uncertainty

From Market-led to Institution-ledPreviously,--Integration by private sector (trade, FDI)--Open regionalism--Informal and voluntaryNow, institutionalization has begun--ASEAN+3 is the main framework--AFTA, ARF, ASEM, AIA, IAI, Chiang Mai Initiative...--Bilateral and regional FTAs are proposed (some concluded)--Initiative for Development in East Asia (IDEA)

Remaining Issues for East AsiaMaintaining regional peace and securityNarrowing the gap between early developers and latecomersPromoting globalization while mitigating its negative impactsHRD, institution building, governance for strengthening competitiveness

East Asia Should Also:Project its views to the world--Markets must be managed properly--Diversity, not uniformity, in development strategies--IMFs wrong response to the Asian crisisStudy the new modality of industrial promotion in the age of globalization--Neither laissez-faire nor protectionism

Japans Role in East Asia1. By far the largest ODA donor2. Large trading partner (together with US, EU)3. Japanese firms are chief architects of regional production network through FDI (especially in electronics)4. Regional leadership?5. Economic vitality?

Japanese ODATwo-track principle(1) For the prosperity of Japan and East Asia(2) For solving global issues (poverty, health, education, environment, refugees...)Helping the self-help effort of LDCs--To grow and become equal trading partnersSupplementing private dynamism--Infrastructure, HRD, policy/institutional support--Coping with growth-induced problems

Poverty Reduction in East AsiaExtreme poverty in East Asia already halved(1990: 27.6% 1999: 14.2%)National strategy for equitable growth in place(even before PRSP)Aid coordination centered on pro-poor measures unlikely to work in East AsiaVietnam: strong ownership, growth and equity, PRSP under existing national strategy(Does Vietnam really need an externally imposed PRSP?)

Implications for AfricaSimple replication will not work--Different situations, no regional network--However, methodology for policy formulation can be transferredAfrica must balance:--Fight against poverty (humanitarian)--Growth generation (for long-term self support)Concrete growth strategy needed, in addition to PRSP

Japans Approach Emphasizes:Respect for each countrys uniqueness Long-term and holistic perspectiveReal-sector concern (trade, investment, key industries, technology...)Help in good times as well as badThis can complement the current approach based on short-term conditionality, frequent monitoring and globally common framework

Steps to Japanese InvolvementFirst, build domestic support for more aid to Africa (but ODA is being cut)Select a few countries and study deeply--New selectivity criteria for growth--Create a permanent policy research team--Work with government, IFIs, other donors--Support growth component of PRSPPropose a concrete and realistic strategy, with additional ODA

Last WordsJapan already extends such policy support to Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Mongolia...(but it must be further improved)Ad hoc, short-term involvements are unlikely to produce lasting results
