“This paper discusses some of the successful social and economic policies .
adopted by the dynamic Southeast Asian countries that could be applied to the
Ghanaian and African contexts. The analysis focuses on five main dynamic
ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The
economic and social policies of the five dynamic countries are discussed with
relevance to the Ghanaian and African contexts. Further, the paper also
highlights several negative impacts of economic growth and development of the
dynamic ASEAN countries in order to draw lessons for Ghana and the rest of Africa.”
