Beyond the Developmental State

Description

Moving beyond abstract economic models and superficial descriptions of the market, Beyond the Developmental State analyses the economic, political and ideological interests which underpin current socio-economic processes.



Through this approach, the contributors show the close interrelation between states and markets in both national and international contexts. Drawing on a wide range of case studies and themes, the book exposes the theoretical and empirical limitations of the developmental state paradigm, offering alternatives as well as discussing the policy implications and challenges they raise.



For scholars, students and practitioners of development, Beyond the Developmental State presents a decisive break with the old dogmas of both neoliberal orthodoxy and theories of 'market-imperfection', and outlines theoretically and empirically grounded alternatives.

Beyond the Developmental State

Political Economy and Development

Published in association with the International Ini tiative for Promoting Political Economy (IIPPE)

Edited by Ben Fine (SOAS, University of London) Dimitris Milonakis (University of Crete)

Political economy and the theory of economic and so cial development have long been fellow travellers, sharing an interdisciplinary and multidimensional character. Over the last 50 years, mainstream economics has become tota lly formalistic, attaching itself to increasingly narrow methods and techniques at the e xpense of other approaches. Despite this narrowness, neoclassical economics has expanded its domain of application to other social sciences, but has shown itself incapable of addressing social phenomena and coming to terms with current developm ents in the world economy. With world financial crises no longer a distant mem ory, and neoliberalism and postmodernism in retreat, prospects for political e conomy have strengthened. It allows constructive liaison between the dismal and other s ocial sciences and rich potential in charting and explaining combined and uneven develop ment. The objective of this series is to support the revi val and renewal of political economy, both in itself and in dialogue with other social sc iences. Drawing on rich traditions, we invite contributions that constructively engage with heterodox economics, critically assess mainstream economics, address contemporary d evelopments, and offer alternative policy prescriptions.
