Summary
This volume is compiled as a tribute to Professor Shinichi Ichimura who has contributed so much to creating a better understanding of development issues and problems in Asia. As shown by the biographical information on the pages following the preface, his active involvement in joint projects and various institutions has enhanced our knowledge of development issues; but his accomplishments go beyond this. Through his active participation in academics and the development of institutions that are dedicated to studying development issues of the region, Professor Ichimura has also contributed to the welfare and development of young scholars who are interested in Asian economic development. Professor Ichimura's accomplishments are numerous and impressive. It is only fitting, therefore, to dedicate this volume to a man who has contributed so much and who continues to share his -wealth of knowledge and insights.
The articles that are collected in this volume span a wide range of topics. As is befitting for a book dedicated to Professor Ichimura, all of the articles examine and discuss development issues and problems that have faced or are being faced by the countries of East and Southeast Asia. Both of the editors and all of the authors in this book have had the pleasure and honor of working with Professor Ichimura at one time or another; and each of us has gained from Professor Ichimura's knowledge and experience. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Shinichi Ichimura for his dedication to the economics and academic profession, and for his many contributions to creating a better understanding of the development issues faced by the countries of the region.
This volume represents the combined efforts and dedication of many persons. We would like to thank Professor Mitsuo Ezaki of Kyoto University for his generous support throughout this project. Special thanks go to Janis Togashi for her untiring efforts and outstanding support in preparing the volume for publication. We also acknowledge David Puhlick and Audrey Shono for their editorial assistance, and Cynthia Nakachi for the secretarial help in preparing the manuscript. Without the support, dedication and hard work of these people, this project would never have been completed.
