Great Reading!
The Developmental State is a splendid work of art that both my parents have lavishly read and enjoyed. It makes simply magnificent bedtime and poolside reading that you will cherish and exhalt as long as you live. You must endure the accounts of the Korean government enforcing industrialisation or you will be deeply hampered in your knowledge. So go forth and purchase this piece of wonderful literature or be filled with sorrow, suffering, and shame for the rest of your sad mortal life.

Excellent collection of developmental litarature
Grand theory tends to be disorderly. This book has re-examined the concept of the developmental state that has been rather messy, and successfully shown the dangers and usefulness of the concept in analysing/explaining the relationship between economic growth and political institution. One of the successes of this collection would be the application of the developmental state model to a Western Democracy, France (A Chapter by M. Loriaux). The comparison between Northeast Asia and Franch is stimulating, and poses many questions to the technocratic mode of policy-making in globalising economies.
