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.

Political Economy and Development

Published in association with the International Initiative 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 social development have long been fellow travellers, sharing an interdisciplinary and multidimensional character. Over the last 50 years, mainstream economics has become totally formalistic, attaching itself to increasingly narrow methods and techniques at the expense 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 developments in the world economy. With world nancial crises no longer a distant memory, and neoliberalism and postmodernism in retreat, prospects for political economy have strengthened. It allows constructive liaison between the dismal and other social sciences and rich potential in charting and explaining combined and uneven development. The objective of this series is to support the revival and renewal of political economy, both in itself and in dialogue with other social sciences. Drawing on rich traditions, we invite contributions that constructively engage with heterodox economics, critically assess mainstream economics, address contemporary developments, and offer alternative policy prescriptions.

1.1 IntRoDUCtIon

In their edited collection entitledDeconstructing Development Discourse: Buzzwords and Fuzzwords, Cornwall and Eade (2010) range over 30 or so entries that critically unpick the more prominent concepts that have been deployed in the study and practice of development. These include poverty reduction, social protection, globalisation, participation, citizenship, empowerment, social capital, gender, sustainability, rights, NGOs, social movements, country ownership, transparency, accountability, corruption, governance, fragile states, knowledge, and so on. ‘Developmental state’ is notably absent. Indeed, ‘state’ itself only appears as a heading within one entry: ‘fragile state’. This is not an oversight or error on the part of the editors, but a genuinereflection of the nature and extent to which the (developmental) state has been written in and out of development discourse by 30 years of neoliberalism. To put it crudely, the term ‘developmental state’ could not have been expected to become prominent, given that it is a point of critical departure from orthodoxy, and so unlikely to have been adopted, let alone promoted, by the World Bank. Yet, whilst development and the state are everywhere in the Bank’s activities, the developmental state is nowhere. The contrast for the entry in the collection on ‘social capital’ (Fine 2010e) is striking, not least because of that concept’s heavy promotion by the World Bank at the close of the millennium and its use as a device to outflank and marginalise the adoption of the developmental state in the shift from the Washington Consensus to the postWashington Consensus (Fine 1999, 2001). In the event, containing any potential radical content and implications of the postWashington Consensus needed at most to draw only temporarily on the notion of social capital and, within the new millennium, it has been as rapidly abandoned
