The Emergence of Developmental States from a New Institutionalist Perspective

Beschreibung

Presenting detailed case studies of Developmental states in Asia, the book argues that the state has always been an important part of the solution for problems of economic backwardness. After identifying the conditions under which states can effectively assume active roles, a theoretical framework is developed and applied to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
This book addresses the relevance of institutional arrangements in East Asian developmental states for the Central Asian countries. It is argued that the Central Asian transition countries share crucial similarities with the economies of East Asia. By a detailed analysis of historical developments in Northeast and Southeast Asia, a coherent and comprehensive model of the developmental state on the basis of the New Institutional Economics is developed in this book. This model is applied to Central Asia by a comparative study on the basis of semi-structured interviews that were carried out in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Both Central Asian countries show notable similarities but also crucial differences to the East Asian developmental states.
