“…21 Manchuria in northern China, or Manchukuo as the Japanese described it, experienced the same colonial legacy. 22 The importance of these historical and contextual factors in the subsequent development of South Korea and Taiwan is emphasized by Duara (2018), Bhaduri (2018), and Wade (2018). It is also recognized by Evans and Heller (2018) and Khan (2018).…”

“…Things began to change thereafter. The reality that unfolded since then spanned the entire spectrum from almost unrestricted openness in Singapore, through moderated openness in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Turkey, or calibrated also discuss the role of the state-see Lin (2018), Basu (2018), Timmer (2018), Tarp (2018), Wade (2018), Montes (2018), and Osmani (2018). 27 See Amsden (2001), Evans (1995), Lall (1997), Nayyar (2013), Shapiro and Taylor (1990), and Stiglitz (1989).…”

“…Firms receiving preferential state policies had to meet performance metrics related to, for example, targets for exporting, or local content requirements, or advances in domestic production capacity. On this last metric, conditions were tied to closing the price and quality gap between imports and domestic substitutes by a certain time period, or to pushing forward the technological frontiers of domestic production (Amsden, 2001;Wade, 2018).…”

This chapter provides an account of China’s institutional and policy learning efforts to move from a centrally planned to a development-state model of structural transformation. What distinguishes China’s experience—as in the case of other East Asian countries—in successfully building and upgrading local sectors and firms lies not so much with a unique set of policy tools, as a willingness to experiment with those tools and to attach performance criteria that helped guide the behavior of firms towards wider national development objectives. While many other developing countries under structural adjustment programmes quickly adopted export promotion, China was closely studying East Asian countries in its transition by strategically blending an export push with selective import substitution. In short, Chinese policymakers had direct experience on how powerful industrial policies could be misused, but this did not stop them from actively trying to find better ways of using them. Doing so was a matter of political economy.

Modern business technology appears to have become far more widely available than in the post-war decades; producers in many developing countries have entered into global or regional value chains as subordinate producers; and developing countries as a bloc have become far more integrated into the world economy than before. ‘Globalization’ theory, derived from neoclassical economics, presumes—with some qualifications—that these trends will yield a more equal world. Yet ‘catch-up’, in the sense of developing countries coming close to or entering the ranks of developed countries, is notable more for its absence in the seven decades since the Second World War than for its presence as a pattern in the world economy. This chapter tackles the question of why.
