Other Asia: Dragons, Tigers and an Elephant

Robert Solomon

Chapter 10 in The Transformation of the World Economy, 1999, pp 139-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The economic dynamism so evident in China was a feature of Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan for many years. These four countries have been called ‘the four little dragons’ in Asia — China being the large dragon — and ‘the four tigers’ in the west. The dragon is a symbol of serene and prestigious power in Asia. The tiger, while also powerful, is regarded as less majestic and self-confident.
