Summary

East Asian Screen Industriesprovides a guide to the film industries of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the PRC. The authors show how local cultural production has responded to global trends, especially those of American media, focusing on the effects of widespread de-regulation and China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. They use case study examples to demonstrate how each national screen industry has negotiated the crises of the 1990s to re-emerge as a flexible industrial and cultural force, able to respond vigorously to strenuous challenges in an age of global capitalism.
