Review

"Elegantly written and impeccably argued, this book superbly summarizes and synthesizes the major works on the role of states in development. This is an insightful, thought-provoking volume. Highly recommended." - CHOICE May 2005

"This is a systematic, clear and informative piece of comparative research that should be read by academics and policymakers interested in understanding the roles of different types of states as accelerators and hinderers of development." - Pacific Affairs

Book Description

Why have some developing countries industrialized and become more prosperous rapidly while others have not? This study argues that the main reason is more or less effective states. Focusing on South Korea, Brazil, India, and Nigeria, the study describes both the characteristics of more or less effective states and explains why states in some parts of the developing world are more effective. The study takes a long historical approach, emphasizing the role of colonialism in leaving behind more or less effective states, and the relationship of these states with business and labor in helping explain more or less success in promoting economic progress.
