The Political Economy of Developmental States in East Asia “Following the distinguished tradition of research on developmental states, Tian He presents a cogent explanation for how these states have evolved in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, and why this transformation has differed for them due to their respective industrial structure and politics of democratic transition. This book provides a persuasive synthesis and should be read by all students of rising political economies.” —Steve Chan, College Professor of Distinction, University of Colorado, Boulder, US “Tian He has produced a theoretically innovative book that makes a signal contribution to the analysis of East Asian political economy. The central puzzle of this book is why the transformation of the developmental state proceeded so differently within East Asia. It is based on detailed and theoretically informed case studies of Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. His complex and sophisticated model is organized around two key interacting explanatory variables: the nature of the democratic transition and the industrial structure of a political economy. It is vital reading for anyone who wants to understand this subject fully.” —Cal Clark, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, US
