Recaps of distinguished lectures, including the lecture entitled "Development and Transition: Idea, Strategy and Viability" delivered by Prof Justin Yifu Lin, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of The World Bank, are now available online
Recaps of Distinguished Lectures
  • Why was the dominant social thinking about the modernization of developing countries in the 1950s and their transition in the 1990s incorrect?
  • How did the governments of a few economies in East Asia manage to escape the influence of the dominant social thinking in the 1950s?
  • Why did China and Vietnam not follow the transitional approach advocated by the dominant social thinking in the 1980s?

Answers to these questions can be found from a video of the lecture entitled "Development and Transition: Idea, Strategy and Viability" delivered by Prof Justin Yifu Lin, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of The World Bank in late March at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/cpr/linyifu/ for recap.
