Don Lamberton

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, 1994, vol. 8, issue 2, 31-57

Abstract: In this paper, an attempt is made to survey literature dealing with these developments in the Asian‐Pacific region. Section I explores the information sector. Section II focuses on telecommunications, the leading edge of the information infrastructure. Section III reviews writing about ‘IT‐led development’, the view of information technology as a powerful tool for the promotion of socioeconomic development. Section IV looks at the role of the World Bank, the largest single hard‐currency source of finance for telecommunications in developing countries. Section V reports on some aspects of IT trade and internationalisation. Section VI provides summary country case studies. Section VII raises some questions about the link between telecommunications and economic development.
