Book Price $64.6 : Pathways From The Periphery Is An Innovative Interpretation Of The Development Of The Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs) Which Now Dominate Third World Industry And Manufacturing Trade. While Such Countries As Brazil And Mexico Have Achieved Industrialization Through Strategies Intended To Foster Self-reliance, The East Asian NICsâ??South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, And Singaporeâ??have Grown Rapidly Through An Aggressive Policy Promoting The Export Of Manufactured Goods. Stephan Haggard Provides The First Comprehensive Comparison Of The Politics Of Industrialization In These East Asian And Latin American Countries And Offers New Evidence On Current Issues In Comparative Political Economy, Including The Implications Of Different Growth Paths For Dependency, Equity, And Democracy.Recognizing The Influence On Development Strategies Of External Shocksâ??such As Depression, War, And Reduced Access To Foreign Capitalâ??Haggard Emphasizes The Importance Of Domestic Political Institutions For Economic Decision-making. The East Asian NICs Are Characterized By Close But Regulated Businessâ??government Alliances, Weak Labor Movements, And Politically Insulated And Administratively Capable States: Factors, Haggard Shows, That Have Facilitated Flexible And Coherent Industrial Policies. He Argues That "domestic" Policy Choices Can Shape The External Constraints States Face. The Author Considers In Detail Why Latin America's Long-standing Efforts To Achieve Self-reliance Have Ironically Resulted In A Dependence On International Capital Greater Than That Of The East Asian Countries.Addressing A Long-standing Debate On The Relationship Between Industrialization Strategy And Regime Type, Haggard Carefully Assesses The Connection Between Growth And Democratic Politics. Despite Their Authoritarian Growth Models The Asian NICs Have, He Observes, Achieved Greater Equity Than Their Latin American Counterparts. Although The "success" Of Export-led Growth Has In The Past Been Associated With Authoritarian Rule, Haggard Argues That No Compelling Theoretical Reasons Preclude Democratic Governments From Achieving Strong Economic Performance. Breaking New Ground In Theoretical Inquiry And Empirical Research, Pathways From The Periphery Will Be Welcomed By Political Economists, Scholars And Students Of Comparative Politics, Historians Of Asian And Latin American Public Policy, And Others Concerned With The Challenge Of Economic Development.
