Douglas B. Fuller holds a BA from Swarthmore College, a MA from UC Berkeley and a PhD in political science from MIT, and has been researching technology and economic policy-making in East Asia for over a decade. He has spent approximately six years living in Greater China and has conducted field research in Korea, Japan, and Malaysia as well. His current research interests include the economic prospects for developing countries under globalization and the comparative political economy of East Asia. He has contributed to two recent books, Global Taiwan (M.E. Sharpe 2005) and How We Compete (Currency 2005), and has published articles in a number of academic journals, including Industry and Innovation and the Journal of Contemporary China. He has served as a research fellow at Stanford Project on Regions of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which is part of Stanford University's Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Industrial Performance Center. He is currently working on a manuscript about how China's successful technological development fits neither the prescriptions for development offered by revisionist political economists nor those of the mainstream economists adhering to the Washington Consensus.
