	Newly industrialized countries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NICs are countries that are not quite yet at the status of a full-fledged first world nation, but still more advanced than countries in the third world or in the category of least developed countries.
		The most significant feature in a country being classified as a NIC is obtaining a considerable level of industrialisation, the switching of primary business from agricultural to industrial economies.
		NICs began to be recognised in the 1970s when the so-called "East Asian Tigers" of Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan rose to global prominence with rapid industrial growth since the 1960s, most now having evolved beyond this status.

		The country's major problems include an ongoing Muslim separatist movement in southern Mindanao, communist insurgencies in rural areas (New People's Army), historically inconsistent government policies, and environmental degradation due to rainforest depletion and marine and coastal pollution.
		The country suffers from overpopulation due to having a high birth rate, which is far above the replacement rate and until recently was one of the highest in all of Asia.
		The country is also astride the typhoon belt of the Western Pacific and is struck by about 19 typhoons per year.

		Empirical evidence stands in direct contrast to this assumption: all of the presently industrialised countries (with the exception of Britain) have implemented protectionist measures at some stage in their development.
		Its is interesting to note that between 1980 and 1994, third world countries experienced an almost 18% drop in the real value of their exports, and developing countries are more dependant on foreign trade in terms of share of national income than very highly developed countries.
		Countries that engaged in second stage import substitution were characterised by a sellers market where import competition was practically excluded by high protection from tariffs.

	Methodological and Technological issues in Technology Transfer
		Scientific and technical capability are crucial to the economic and industrial development of developing countries (Rama Rao, 1997; Song, 1997; Suttmeier, 1997; also Section 2.3 in Chapter 2 and Sections 4.3 and 4.12 in Chapter 4 discuss the role of RandD).
		In industrialised countries the private sector is often the largest investor in RandD.
		Preliminary analysis seems to suggest that newly industrialised countries seem to increase the generation of scientific and technological knowledge within their countries, although the majority of knowledge is still generated in the industrialised world (Amsden and Mourshed, 1997).

	EU seminar on trade issues
		The developing countries are apprehensive of the WTO programme of free global trade by the year 2003 abolishing custom tariff and other restrictions on free movement of goods and services between world countries.
		The developing and less industrialised countries feel that in such a free trade atmosphere they would not be able to compete with highly industrialised countries who are, besides having better technology and quality of production, also endoying economies of large scale production.
		The developing countries demand this time frame be extended upto 2010 and developed highly industrialised and rich countries should provide material help to the developing nations to improve their competitiveness to ensure that they get their due share in the free international trade.

	MATCHING TRANSPORT AND ENVIRONMENT AGENDA IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
		As developing countries strive to increase their energy services to improve the quality of life of their citizens and to compete effectively in the global economy, environmental concerns should be given active consideration.
		In developing countries, there are several transport-related practices in this area that are detrimental to the environment such as the use of isolated roads as dumping areas for wasted materials and the repair of vehicles near homes.
		Countries with a strong vehicle-manufacturing base, such as South Korea or Brazil, may be reluctant to embark on solutions that reduce vehicle sales drastically.

	Trade Talks Collapse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Demands by the industrialised countries for further trade liberalisation in developing countries while holding on to protectionist measures in their domestic markets led to the collapse of trade negotiations in Seattle in 1999 and in Cancun, Mexico in September.
		Industrialised countries and the newly industrialised countries in Asia, used protectionist measures and inward-looking industrial policies in their early stages of development to develop auto-centric industrial structures.
		Countries might have to shift the focus of their limited resources >from the promotion of export industries which are dependent on industrial countries' markets towards the development of domestic industrial structures as part of regional blocs that will move beyond the mere rhetoric of regional integration and economic co-operation.

	Trade Not Aid
		Most third world countries have a limited manufacturing sector and therefore they have a continuing need to import manufactured goods and fuels; where during the 1970s the price of many basic commodities fluctuated widely while the prices of manufactured goods were rising.
		The western countries have argued that economic development in the third world cannot take place; this is due to reasons of no entrepreneurial spirit and to traditional social norms and institutions.
		In 1980s the total amount of official aid transferred to the developing countries was 18000 million, 13,500 million came from the developed nations of the west, 3500 from OPEC and 1000 from the Soviet bloc and China.

	Foreword
		Industrialised countries have extensive experience of the problems caused by water pollution and the strategies and technologies available to control it.
		In the developing world, although pollution is increasing rapidly with urbanisation and industrialisation, most countries have very limited experience of pollution control measures or of the institutional and legislative frameworks needed to make such measures effective.
		On the other hand, the Collaborative Council's developing country members have the specialist knowledge and skills with which to adapt the practices of the industrialised nations to their own circumstances.

		Within countries, it fragments the labour market and creates social divisions: between white and fl workers, between young and old, between the employed, the partially employed and the unemployed...
		In developing countries, entire branches of industry producing for the internal market are eliminated, the informal urban sector --which historically played an important role as a source of employment creation-- is destroyed as a result of currency devaluations and the liberalisation of imports including commodity dumping.
		The balance of payments of developing countries was in crisis, the accumulation of large external debts provided international creditors and "donors" with "political leverage" to influence the direction of country-level macro-economic policy.

		At the same time, Arroyo said she was glad that the Philippines had not been compared with the 10 other Asean countries, but only with Asean's newly industrialised countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
		To erase the country's bad image, Arroyo said the government would continue spreading the news about her country's growth rate since she became president in 2001.
		Arroyo said the waiting period for the procurement of housing permits has been shortened from 188 to 45 days, while the processing of papers of land-based overseas Filipino workers has been shortened from six to three hours, and for seafarers from 12 to six hours.

		What robbed Ghana of acheiving high level of development as its contemporaries in East and South East Asia was the instabilities that engulfed the country from 1972 until 1983, a decade that saw both capital flight and large emigration of her skill labour.
		Although the flight of skill labour occured in almost all the countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana was the only country that lost almost all her skilled labour.
		This is exacerbated by the impact of Globalisation and the financial dependency of sub-Saharan Africa countries on the Industrialised countries and their MNCs.

		The industrialised countries have adjusted positively to increasing competitiveness in the context of economic globalisation; yet these same countries are establishing regional blocs at an accelerated rate.
		Besides the EU, several industrialised and newly-industrialised countries are in the process of establishing transregional economic and trade forums and clubs.
		The workers in these countries, he added, are threatened with unemployment, their children often see their education terminated abruptly and their future destroyed.

		A country with low income per head and defined as developing may be culturally and socially rich.
		Newly Industrialised Countries (NIC's) are LDC's that have undergone recent, rapid industrialisation and experience rising incomes, high growth rates and international involvement.
		It is useful to classify countries by groupings for identification of common problems and policy purposes.

		And changes in the world of science and technology are coming much faster than in the world of land, labour and capital.'' Newly industrialised countries like Taiwan and Korea have regular and extensive mechanisms to put science at the centre of decision-making, though these activities are not documented, Juma said.
		The countries that have stagnated are also the ones that use less technology, as in Africa where many depend on raw material.
		The report recommends that countries create and improve science and technology advisory institutions at the national and international levels; employ institutions of higher learning such as universities directly in the service of community development; strengthen national programmes designed to promote business development; and design infrastructure projects as a way to promote technological innovation.

	UNDERLYING CAUSES
		Impact on the environment caused by the developed and the newly industrialised countries in the region, as well as the unsustainable use of natural resources by those countries (and other developed countries outside the region) have also been considerable (NEPA- communication).
		The countries likely to face environmental stress, because of demographic trends (both population growth rate and densities) in the coming decades, are the Maldives, Pakistan and Bangladesh, closely followed by Nepal, Viet Nam, India and the Philippines.
		There is a modest level of participation by the developing countries of the region in international agreements whereas for the least developed countries it is low.

		While some emerging countries and ruling castes have benefited from liberalisation, this does not alter the fact that it was imposed by coercion.
		But no country or group of countries appears able to constitute a political counterweight to the US in the foreseeable future, let alone call into question its primacy in the hierarchy of nations.
		Trapped in an international division of labour that forces them into often harmful specialisation, the most vulnerable third-world countries are losing the last remnants of their sovereignty, while the newly industrialised countries have become even more dependent over the last few years, as recent experience in East Asia proves (9).

		Washington during the first week of October was host to a series of intensive meetings between the finance ministers and central bank governors of both the G7 and the G22 (a group of newly industrialised countries that have established themselves as major players in the world economy).
		The general thrust of criticism in Washington is that the IMF must revise both the conceptual foundations of its policies and the conditions it places on debtor countries, that it must be more transparent in its dealings and that it must pay greater attention to the social effects of its programmes and recommendations.
		Third World countries in particular should be addressed, and among the prime candidates for this process is the G15, in which Egypt plays a pivotal role.

		Malaysia and Singapore used to be part of one British colony called Malaya, but after independence, Malaysia and Singapore became separate countries in 1965.
		Because of its wealth of natural resources, Malaysia continues to be a major exporter of primary goods like rubber, palm oil and timber but it is also one of a group of fast developing countries known as 'Newly Industrialised Countries' or NIC's.
		NIC's like Malaysia have managed to develop their own manufacturing industries and now take a much larger share in world trade.

		A mature and sizeable stock market is perceived across the globe as a barometer of the economic health and prospect of a country as well as a register of the confidence of domestic and global investors.
		So it is easily predictable that foreign portfolio investment will continue to be the most important source of capital for developing countries in the coming years in the backdrop of declining official grants, aids and other source of foreign capital.
		The bourses of the country are now passing through a critical phase with a chronic bearish trend persisting since the occurrences of crashes in the Bangladesh stock markets in late November, 1996, following the phenomenal flash boom in share prices during July-November, 1996, caused by machinations and manipulations.
