United Nations publication sales no. E.13.II.F.5"--Title page verso

Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-170).

Although the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 was the worst economic crisis in over 60 years for many industrial countries, most Asian and Pacific developing countries weathered it quite successfully. The resilience of the region is somewhat puzzling at first sight. In an increasingly globalized world, aren't economic shocks supposed to be transmitted faster and farther than ever before? The purpose of the book is to understand why countries in the region were significantly less affected by the crisis than the world's most advanced economies of Europe and the United States, and what are the main lessons from their experience for building resilience from future crises.
