The focus of this volume is on the role of the developmental state
in a situation in which a series of major crises affects the
(semi-) periphery of the global economy. The authors go beyond the
established debate on developmental states in East Asia by
highlighting a much broader understanding of development and a very
different global economic context. They also further the existing
debate by covering new country cases. At the same time, they deepen
our perspective on developmental states by looking at unusual
sectors such as green industrial policy, education and farming.
This volume broadens the scope of 'comparative capitalism' within
the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) tradition. It endorses the
employment of multiple perspectives, including critical political
economy, institutionalist systems of capitalism,
structuralist-dependency scholarship and world-systems theory. The
contributors deal with the theory of economic patriotism in a
conceptual framework, as well as case studies regarding
rent-seeking behaviour, the patronage state in Hungary and Poland,
the conflict between national regulation and the European legal
framework and the perspective of wage relations in the European
institutional framework. The book concludes with the legacy of
developmentalism and dirigisme in a core-periphery relation, based
on the French state and a range of non-European cases including
Iran, Brazil and Egypt.
This volume is the continuation of our research on economic and
developmental policy-making in the global semi-periphery in the
post-crisis cycle (see our two recently published volumes titled
'Market-Liberalism and Economic Patriotism in Capitalist Systems'
edited by Gerocs and Szanyi, 2019, Palgrave Macmillan and 'The
Post-Crisis Developmental State - Perspectives from the Global
Periphery' edited by Gerocs and Ricz, 2021). Our new volume aims to
be a contribution to the analysis of emerging market economies'
alternative development trajectories, as we explore the new
perspectives on semi-peripheral dependent development since the
Global Financial Crisis and especially amidst the new global
pandemic, the COVID-19. The scope of comparative capitalism
research has also been altered accordingly to include the analysis
of emerging economies outside the core of the world system, and to
make intertemporal comparisons possible (such as to define and
characterise historical waves of state capitalism). Still, we are
convinced that to better understand the current wave of state
capitalism and to explore its national varieties there is a need to
critically reconsider existing theoretical approaches and
methodologies, and to search for new ones, if necessary. This book
aims to be a contribution to the analysis of emerging market
economies' alternative development trajectories and explores new
perspectives on semi-peripheral dependent development, especially
amidst COVID-19.
