ABSTRACT
Economic integration in the post-Cold War era has produced dynamic economic growth, especially in the Pacific Rim. The emergence of Greater China, an informal economic region that constitutes the fastest-growing economy in the world, is one reflection of this new trend in development strategy. This economic phenome-
non owes its vitality to the investment, marketing and management skills of "diaspora" or overseas Chinese, as well as the vast resources of the major regional Chinese economies of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.
