 note = {application/pdf, IDP000210_001, The paper examines the development and restructuring of the iron and steel industry
in Asian countries. Studying countries that have integrated steelworks with large
blast furnaces (South Korea, Taiwan, China and India) and countries without
(Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia), the paper shows the difference in the
development processes across the countries and across time, and points to the
diversity of the development experience of these countries. The paper argues that
significant differences in steel production technologies in terms of initial investment
and minimum-efficient scale, the changing role of the state, and shifting demand
structures in the domestic steel markets of each country have been the important
factors that led to the differences in the development path of the steel industry in
each country.},
