The study undertakes a comparative analysis of the state as an
economic actor in developing countries. Why have some developing
country states been more successful at facilitating
industrialization than others? An answer to this question is
developed by focusing both on patterns of state construction and
patterns of state intervention aimed at promoting
industrialization. Four countries are analyzed in detail - South
Korea, Brazil, India, and Nigeria - over the twentieth century.The
states in these countries varied from cohesive-capitalist (mainly
in Korea), through fragmented-multiclass (mainly in India), to
neo-patrimonial (mainly in Nigeria). It is argued that
cohesive-capitalist states have been most effective at promoting
industrialization and neo-patrimonial states the least. The
performance of fragmented-multiclass states falls somewhere in the
middle. After explaining in detail as to why this should be so, the
study traces the origins of these different state types
historically, emphasizing the role of different types of
colonialisms in the process of state construction in the developing
world.
