This study evaluates Sri Lanka's position by early 2000s in terms of Newly Industrialized Country (NIC) status, and explores the lessons which it can learn from the East Asian NICs. Accordingly, it has developed a policy strategy to enable Sri Lanka to converge into a more dynamic growth path leading towards the NIC status in the foreseeable future. This exercise was deemed useful because Sri Lanka had a superior position over many less developed countries (LDCs) including the East Asian NICs four decades ago, but having attempted various economic policy regimes over this period, it still remains a LDC. The study compared Sri Lanka's post-1977 policy performance with those of South Lores and Taiwan in detail." -- Back cover.
