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 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.
