Abstract: Abstract Over the past decade or so, the economic performance of the Southeast Asian NICs, particularly their performance in the export of manufactured goods, has exercised a considerable influence on policy thinking in developing countries. In many countries there is the hope that the remarkable demand growth generated in export markets might be emulated and lead to similar achievements to those of the NICs in terms of full employment accompanied by rising real wages and labour productivity. Admittedly, the desirability of an NIC pattern of development may be more questionable now, in the wake of the Southeast Asian financial and economic crisis, but the attraction of some, if not all, elements of what is seen as NIC exportpromoting policy still has strong influence elsewhere in the world.
