After the Second World War most of the Asian economies were agricultural economies. Thereafter the economies shifted from the traditional products to light industries such as electronics and textiles. Some Asian countries also stressed larger-scale industrial projects. The first years of economic development were in the golden of the dirigiste doctrine. This period can be characterized by state-led development and inward oriented industrialization.

In the mid-1980s the ASEAN economies expanded their economic relations with china to expand and diversify their exports. Especially Japan had an important role in the success of China's economic reforms and open-door policy. The ASEAN economies started also other regional structures. Examples of these regional structures are the subregional SREZs, the regional ASEAN free trade area and the Supra-regional Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)...
