Raphael Kaplinsky and Dirk Messner have launched an important project on “The Impact of Asian Drivers on the Developing World,” in a special issue of World Development (36, 2, 2008). The central issue is the impact of the surging economies of China and India on the world economy. Japan Focus reprints their introduction to the issues, and a comment by R. Taggart Murphy on “New Asian Drivers, Japan, Korea and the Lessons of History” that raises historical issues with particular respect to Japan and Korea, including the impact on the world economy of these earlier developments, and the nature of their rise in global perspective. In future articles we hope to extend this discussion with respect to other issues pertaining to the impact of Chinese and Indian development on the Asian regional and global economy, and the impact on Chinese and Indian societies of the development paths chosen. We also draw attention to Giovanni Arrighi's contribution on “Historical Perspectives on States, Markets and Capitalism, East and West.”

Would autocracies promote autocracy? A political economy perspective on regime-type export in regional neighbourhoods (2010, background): “Dubbed ‘Asian Drivers’, China and India in particular have been said to exercise increasing influence on the developing world (Kaplinsky and Messner 2008), but many have argued that Russia is also on its way to regain some of the influence lost with the demise of the Soviet Union (MacFarlane 2006,…”
Multifunctional ‘quality’ and rural community resilience (2010, background): “…creation of new multifunctional pathways (e.g. by opening new markets for certain products), in others such integration may reduce economic (as well as social and environmental) capital, for example by creating new dependencies linked to new markets or new technologies (Kaplinsky and Messner 2008).”

Impact of south-south FDI and trade on the export upgrading of African economies (2014, background): “…emerging economies in international trade and investment revived academic and policy interests for South-South integration and inspired a debate on the growth implications for the less developed recipient countries, particularly in Africa (Kaplinsky and Messner, 2008; Kaplinsky and Farooki, 2009).”
Hegemonic transitions and global shifts in social metabolism: Implications for resource-rich countries. Introduction to the special section (2012, background): “The emergence of huge Asian economies is redrawing South– South political and economic relations (Ellis, 2009; Fernandez Jilberto and Hogenboom, 2007; Kaplinsky and Messner, 2008) and inducing a re-configuration of the systems for the extraction and provision of natural resources, with significant d”
What are the Implications for Global Value Chains When the Market Shifts from the North to the South (2010, result): “…in relation to output and exports – since the onset of their growth-inflection, and compare these with the similar experiences of Japan (after 1960) and Korea (after 1963), it is evident that other economies have experienced similar economic “miracles” in the past (Kaplinsky and Messner, 2008).”
Better the Devil You Know? Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in Africa (2011, background): “Kaplinsky and Messner (2008) distinguish six channels: trade links, FDIs, finance, institutions of global and regional governance, migration, and environmental spillovers.”
