Moreover, it discusses and compares the East Asian experiences of railway development with cases in Germany, which was a mainstay of railway development in Europe. After the opening of Japan in the mid-nineteenth century, the country achieved import substitution of locomotives in half a century. This book explores the social capability of Meiji Japan to overtake the advanced countries in railway technology. Parallel with the expansion of the Japanese empire, a large team of engineers constructed and operated the colonial government railways of Taiwan and Korea and the South Manchuria Railway. The book clearly outlines the education and training of these engineers. The management capabilities of the colonial railways and South Manchuria Railway were transferred to the postwar period, and such expertise supported the economic development of each country and region. These dramatic East Asian experiences of railway development are compared with European cases, mainly German railways. 410 0$aStudies in Economic History,$x2364-1797 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aWorld history 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000 606 $aHistory of Japan$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020 607 $aJapan$xHistory 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 676 $a625.1 702 $aSawai$b Minoru$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255021903321 996 $aThe Development of Railway Technology in East Asia in Comparative Perspective$92154551 997 $aUNINA
