Asian Developmental Model Program aims to analyze the specificity and diversity of the Asian capitalist system theoretically and empirically and to classify sustainable Asian developmental models based on the analysis. To do so, the program discusses the common institution and culture of Asian capitalism and classifies the diversity of Asian capitalism by comparatively analyzing various industries in terms of corporate governance, intercorporate relations, labor, finances, welfare and global value chains. The program seeks to suggest a sustainable Asian developmental model by setting the regional commonality of Asian capitalism and a synthesized framework that includes the diversity of countries within the region.
