Today's globalization is changing the gravity center of Business on a worlwide basis. The classic triangle New York-London-Paris has been substituted by new strategic axis located in emerging nations. Asian countries are changing the dimensions of international trade and investments from a Global perspective. Locations like the Strait of Malacca in Malaysia or APEC will become extremely strategic in trade and commerce for the next 20 years and the most relevant demographic growth will be located in Asian nations. Asia is moving quickly and it does it in the right direction. Governments are facilitating investment processes to local and foreign companies. Not only China and India must be taken into consideration, other new “Challengers” are increasing very rapidly (Vietnam, Thailand or Malaysia), which, despite some internal problems like lack of democratic maturity and transparency, show very admirable values in Business activities. Social order, respect, family orientation or hard work are some of these assets. This book offers an “in-depth” analysis of ten Asian nations (China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, Laos, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, India and Hong Kong) in order to help western managers and investors to do Business efficiently in this dynamic economic region. La globalización actual está cambiando el centro de gravedad de los negocios en todo el mundo. El clásico triángulo York-Londres-París ha sido sustituido por un nuevo eje estratégico localizado en los países emergentes. Los países asiáticos están cambiando las dimensiones del comercio internacional y las inversiones desde una perspectiva global. Lugares como el Estrecho de Malacca en Malasia o en APEC se convertirá en un alto valor estratégico en el comercio para los próximos 20 años y el crecimiento demográfico más relevante se encuentra en los países asiáticos. Asia se está moviendo rápidamente, y lo hace en la dirección correcta. Los gobiernos están facilitando los procesos de inversión a las empresas locales y extranjeras. No sólo China e India deben ser tenidos en cuenta, otros nuevos "rivales" están creciendo muy rápidamente (Vietnam, Tailandia o Malasia), que, a pesar de algunos problemas internos como la falta de madurez democrática y la transparencia, muestran valores muy admirables en los negocios. Orden social, el respeto, la orientación de la familia o el trabajo duro son algunos de estos activos. Este libro ofrece un profundo análisis de diez países asiáticos (China, Camboya, Vietnam, Japón, Laos, Corea del Sur, Singapur, Tailandia, India y Hong Kong) con el fin de ayudar a los directivos e inversores occidentales para hacer negocios de manera eficiente en esta dinámica región económica.

Investors are increasingly integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues into their investment decisions. Currently, more than half of managed assets in Europe are linked to ESG factors, while in Japan, ESG investment has grown dramatically in recent years. In principle, ESG investment can help to bridge the gap between profit-driven investment and economic and social sustainability in Asia and the Pacific. However, a number of challenges, such as unclear and varied sustainable investment criteria, untested impacts on corporate value and social issues, and the lack of quality data cloud the potential for increasing ESG investment. This book aims to contribute to developing a framework for future analysis and monitoring to ensure the growth of ESG investment.

First, the book documents the evolution of Asia's infrastructure over the past half-century and reviews existing literature on the role of infrastructure investment in supporting growth and social development. It highlights the positive impact of mass transit investments on land and property values, and the possibility of taxing the increase in values to finance these investments. It then examines Asia's current practices and new solutions that can help meet the infrastructure gap. It discusses the role of institutions, how innovation can foster energy infrastructure investments, and the role of bond markets in infrastructure investments. The book explores ASEAN+3 efforts in developing local currency bond markets to provide long-term local financing for infrastructure investment while providing financial resilience. It also examines the use of green bonds to finance sustainable growth in Asia.

This book examines state-state relations and new forms of state business relations that have emerged with an increase in China’s foreign direct investments in Malaysia. Focusing on investments in the industrial sector and through in-depth case studies, this book adopts a novel framework to analyse these different types of state-business relations. These new forms of state-business relations are created from the different modes of negotiations between different key actors in each of the cases. Diverse outcomes were found, reflecting the disparate forms of power relationships and state cohesiveness with unique institutional architectures formed in each case. The book identifies a major shift in structural power in these new forms of state-business relations as China’s large multinational state-owned enterprises increasingly invest in Malaysia. A well-constructed institutional architecture is needed, not just in Malaysia but for other Southeast Asian countries, if foreign investments are to be harnessed to promote effective industrial development.
