Newly Industrializing Economies (NIEs) and the GATT Policy Negotiations

In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Newly Industrializing Economies (NIEs): A subgroup of developing countries that have experienced particularly rapid industrialization of their economies, with industrial production and exports expanding accordingly. Current usage tends to limit the term NIEs to Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan, although texts dating from the early 1980s often extended the related termNICs to Mexico and Brazil, and sometimes India and Argentina. The East Asian NIEs are sometimes referred to as the Four Tigers or Four Dragons. See also Dynamic Asian Economies (DAEs).
