The concept of the developmental state emerged to explain the rapid
growth of a number of countries in East Asia in the postwar period.
Yet the developmental state literature also offered a theoretical
approach to growth that was heterodox with respect to prevailing
approaches in both economics and political science. Arguing for the
distinctive features of developmental states, its proponents
emphasized the role of government intervention and industrial
policy as well as the significance of strong states and particular
social coalitions. This literature blossomed into a wider approach,
firmly planted in a much longer heterodox tradition, that explored
comparisons with states that were decidedly not developmentalist,
thus contributing to our historical understanding of long-run
growth. This Element provides a critical but sympathetic overview
of this literature and ends with its revival and a look forward at
the possibility for developmentalist approaches, both in the
advanced and developing world.
