Abstract: | Editor’s Note: In the first issue ofStudies in Comparative International Development under my editorship, I indicated that special issues would be published from time to time. The first of these was volume
25 (spring) 1990, number 1, “On Measuring Democracy,” with Alex Inkeles as guest editor. We present a somewhat different grouping
of articles in this issue, edited by Parris Chang. “Brain Drain in East Asia” considers this important contemporary developmental
issue along the lines indicated in his introduction, Other thematic topics or groupings of articles are also being considered
for future issues of SCID. |
