Abstract
This paper looks at a more neglected dimension of the Asian financial crisis: the role of political factors and the role of political-economic interaction in initiating the crisis, determining the depth of the crisis and shaping the recovery from the crisis. The paper explains that the Asian crisis was a global problem of large proportions; countries as far away as the United States felt the burden of the Asian problems with economic issues and political problems. The paper examines how politics played a vital role in the financial crisis due to money, politics and nepotism. The paper concludes that it will take a great deal of time before there is any real trust put into the governments and political systems of many of these countries.

From the Paper
"Known as the G-7 several industrialized countries, specific countries have been supplying and controlling the flow of capital funds to third-world countries. These countries are the United States, Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, and Australia. Because the G-7 group has such enormous and far-reaching economic strength, it can dictate and control the interest rate that the countries in its group charge to the nations that wish to borrow money. This is very significant for the third-world countries when they borrow money because they have little control over the rate of interest that they pay and they are not able to 'shop around' and find a better rate for their borrowing."

From the Paper
"The 1997 East Asian financial crisis, also known as the IMF crisis, caused the contraction of many formerly robust East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. The crisis began in Thailand and quickly spread throughout the region with sudden devaluation of currencies, stock markets and various other economic structures (Li). One unique characteristic of the East Asian financial crisis was not that it occurred but that it spread like a pandemic from one economy to the other in the region. The problem examined here is whether these conditions or characteristics that led to the financial crisis in the region persist in any real sense."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because investors lost confidence, the Asian financial crisis was not just a domestic problem but rather spread to other parts of the, world especially Third World countries. The author posits that the recovery from the crisis was dependent on the macro economy prior to the crisis within each country. The paper relates that South Korea and Malaysia have different internal structures, were at different levels of development before the crisis and have different survival rates with very different 'after crisis' scenarios. The author points out that the crisis in Malaysia was more of a currency crisis, which had spillover effects within other sectors of the macro economy; however, South Korea faced more of a banking crisis. The paper discuses the role of the International Monetary Fund, the government's role in each region and the Asian Monetary Fund to present a policy outline for preventing future crises.

From the Paper
"There were a lot of issues that caused the financial crisis. Mainly, investors lost confidence in the Asian market and started to remove capital from South Korea and Malaysia. The onset of the loss of confidence by investors began when the economies, such as Mexico had crises that preceded the Asian crisis. Similarly, the United States was increasing interest rates during the period to lower inflation as part of its monetary policy. Investors prefer to invest in the United States versus Asia, since the former is considered less risky."

The writer discusses how the crisis induced a 'New Asian Miracle' in different Asian economies.

From the Paper
"Various domestic conditions have been connected to the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 but this paper centers on global forces that created unexpected change to induce the crisis at international as opposed to regional or national levels. Kawai Et Al stress that private capital flows to developing countries grew high in the 1990s so that a sudden drop in investment caused a 1994 crisis in Mexico and South America, then the East Asian crisis. (2005: 185) This World Bank-oriented article is typical of many that rather minimize the role of American patterns of investment that contributed directly to what Asian countries sustained in the 1990s. Throughout East and Southeast Asia governments noted fast falling markets and varied domestic responses as capital ceased to arrive as it had before from developed countries."

From the Paper
"The unprecedented economic growth of the Southeast Asian countries' in the 1980s and 90s was a result of 'opening-up' of their economies to take advantage of the globalization trend. This coincided with rapid appreciation of the Japanese yen in the mid-1980s that drove the cost of production sky high in Japan, forcing several Japanese companies to move their production facilities offshore-initially, to South Korea and Taiwan. The Japanese also started an aggressive policy of monetary expansion resulting in 'asset price bubble,' and triggering massive capital inflows into South Korea and Taiwan. By the late 1980s, the Korean and Taiwanese economies experienced a similar appreciation in their currencies, followed by similar policies and large capital outflows-to the neighboring Southeast Asian countries."

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the Asian financial crisis, triggered by the devaluation of Thailand's national currency, the baht, in 1997, and the role that the IMF played in making the crisis worse than it had to be.
From the Paper
"In July, the Thai government ended a long-time policy of linking the value of their national currency, the baht, to the U S dollar and it triggered a financial crisis in Asia. A rapid devaluation of the baht suddenly reduced export revenues, made imports much more expensive and made capital investments in Thailand less attractive. This was an economic meltdown that soon spread to Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan. Asian stock prices plunged as a result and there were worldwide repercussions. Some analysts suggest that speculators and the..."

Abstract
This paper seeks to examine and analyze the causes of the Asian financial crisis and their effects. It evaluates the impact of such factors as currency overvaluation and debt liquidity on the extent of the bubble collapse. It also looks at the exasperation of the crisis by sovereign and IMF intervention and seeks to explain the ramifications of the crisis at a sovereign and domestic firm-based level.
From the Paper
"Currency overvaluation severely affected the Asian nations when combined with the precarious use of debt. The prolific use of foreign currency denominated debt within Asian was only tenable in conjunction with a stable exchange rate. Here, however, despite little rise in real exchange rate, the long run growth rate of Asian countries such as Thailand did not match that of the $US - indicating currency overvaluation. Following the depreciation of the Baht other Asian currencies depreciated due to export competitiveness- an example of contagion . The currency devaluation made it more difficult to make payments in other currencies, thus non-performing loans increased. The foreign currency risk adopted by Asian countries was compounded by liquidity risk."

Abstract
This paper reviews how in the contemporary context in the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1998 seems a distant memory that has been obscured by the meteoric economic boom of China and the global changes that have occurred post-September 11, 2001. However this perspective risks ignoring the significance of this crisis given that the underlying structures of the global economy during this crisis, in particular the phenomenon of globalization and its primary institutions the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organization (WTO) continue to shape our economy today.

Abstract
This paper reviews the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, thought to have marked a dramatic end to a period of unprecedented economic growth among newly industrializing nations of East Asia. Analysis of the crisis indicates that the revelation of its origins in the hidden and often corrupt relationships between government banks and enterprises of many of these economies has fostered a lack of confidence in the health and transparency of these economies. According to this paper, the lack of confidence has been with the fading of the immediate economic shocks of the Crisis the most lasting impact of this event.

From the Paper
"The next country to be affected by the Thai contagion was Philippines. Its central bank tried to support its currency by increasing the interest rates overnight. The Thai finance minister who was against devaluing the country's currency resigned on June 19. The Thai prime minister continued to declare that his country would 'never devalue the baht' as late as June 30. But things had already gone out of hand as the Thailand's central bank had limited reserves of dollars and soon ran out of them in trying to defend the bath. The Bank of Thailand was forced to announce a managed float of the currency on July 2 with an SOS to IMF for help. This resulted in a sudden devaluation of baht to record lows against the dollar and the start of the currency crisis in East Asia was well and truly underway."

Abstract
The paper looks at the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and how its policies and oversights made problems worse in Southeast Asia and looks at Korea as an example. The paper looks briefly at the role of "crony capitalism" in Southeast Asia and focuses on Malaysia and Thailand in particular. The paper also examines structural factors, reviews the inherent irrationality of investors and explains the role of capital control regulations and premature liberalization in producing or deepening the crisis. The paper concludes that the IMF must allow developing nations to take matters into their own hands when looking at structural issues, while those countries must develop comprehensive oversight and "firewalls" that reduce cronyism and incompetence.
From the Paper
"The causes of the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 are too numerous to be easily synthesized into one neat capsule. Nonetheless, looking at the matter from afar, it appears as though there was excessive foreign borrowing, far too much over-lending (although it is not clear if this over-lending was domestic, it may be inferred that too much bank capital went towards dubious, speculative ventures) and such an over-reliance upon foreign capital that, when the industrial sector began to slow down, the outflow of foreign capital was utterly debilitating."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The South Korean Central Bank was forced to expand its open market operations (OMO) in order to attempt to stabilize its currency. By elevating the amount of OMO in terms of their own securities, Central Banks attempt to control extreme devaluation in times of stress or manage exchange rates in a more stable fashion (Guille 57). For South Korea, contracting the amount of currency through sales of securities was extremely important in controlling the free-fall of the Won during the extent of the crisis."

Macroeconomic Policy Mix before the Crisis
Financial Sector before the Crisis

Survey of Reforms
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The countries of East Asia have long been called the "Asian Tigers" due to growth rates averaging 8 per cent annually over the past two decades; large rises in per capita income, high domestic savings, low budget deficits and low inflation. However, it appears that the very success of high economic growth of these countries led foreign investors to underestimate the underlying economic weaknesses as the East Asian Financial crisis unfolded."

Asian Financial Crisis, 2005.
This paper discusses the economic crisis in Asia in 1997-8 in the light of other crashes throughout history, from the prototypical and definitive bubble-and-crash phenomenon to the recent 1989 bubble and crash of the Japanese stock market.

Abstract
This paper explains that, generally, the cause of the crisis can be narrowed down to government and banking financial policies at the time of the crisis, which were trying to develop foreign exchange currency strength in the face of insurmountable internal weaknesses. The author points out that the effects of the economic problems of the troubled Asian countries adversely affected the whole world, especially the United States and Japan. The paper stresses that it is very hard it to predict the financial future in terms of economic crisis, no matter how obvious the signs seem in retrospect.

From the Paper
"As mentioned, the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 can be compared in many ways to the 1989 Japanese Stock Market situation, which in turn bore some similarities to the 1929 crash in America, in that banks did not respond appropriately and raised interest rates or kept them the same instead of cutting them, in the fear that decreasing interest would only feed more speculation. The result was similarly a disaster. The banks of Japan essentially burst the speculative bubble themselves after increasing deregulation along with a dearth of experience had created new paradigms for them with which they were not prepared to deal."

Abstract
This paper discusses the East Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 and how it represented not only a shock to the regional economies of East Asia but, in a larger context, a blow to the confidence of global financial markets in the fundamental structural soundness of East Asian economies. The paper points out that the East Asian economies that were at the center of the crisis - in particular, Thailand and South Korea - were also among those being most highly praised for their market liberalization and fiscal prudence during the regional economic boom of the 1990s. This, in particular, represented troubling concerns for the global economic community in terms of the validity and trustworthiness of assessments of East Asian economies. With this in mind, this paper considers whether it is safe to assume that the crisis is truly over.
