5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of developmental litarature, March 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Developmental State (Cornell Studies in Political Economy) (Paperback)
Grand theory tends to be disorderly. This book has re-examined the concept of the developmental state that has been rather messy, and successfully shown the dangers and usefulness of the concept in analysing/explaining the relationship between economic growth and political institution.

One of the successes of this collection would be the application of the developmental state model to a Western Democracy, France (A Chapter by M. Loriaux). The comparison between Northeast Asia and Franch is stimulating, and poses many questions to the technocratic mode of policy-making in globalising economies.
