The Contemporary Transformation of the International System Professor John Wilton Lecture 4 The transformation of the states-system: underdeveloped and developing states

Lecture 4 Key question = relationship between the State (its internal organisation and external relationship(s) and position in international system) AND processes and opportunities for development - this relationship is shaped through the degrees of Sovereignty and Autonomy a State possesses or commands

Lecture 4 State Sovereignty: “a state’s claim to authority: its claim to a right to rule rooted in recognition of that right by the state’s own citizens and by other states” State Autonomy: “the states ability to rule: its ability to make independent decisions such as policy choices around an economic development strategy”

Lecture 4 the Autonomy of a state requires Sovereignty - (it must have the recognised right to exercise its authority) BUT, Sovereignty alone is not a sufficient condition for Autonomy (autonomous action) - many states have Sovereignty, but not necessarily Autonomy

Lecture 4 A State’s Autonomy has to include 2 things: 1) Autonomy of the national state from external pressure; 2) Autonomy in respect of the State’s relation to its own citizens (authority and legitimacy)

Lecture 4 ‘Developmental State’ (Chalmers Johnson) - see, Wilton, J. ‘Transformation, stabilisation and growth in the Czech Republic: New Institutionalism and interactive economic, social and political lessons from the East Asian miracle’, in Masaryk Universiy, Faculty of Economics and Administration, Transformation, Stabilisation and Growth, Brno, 2000, pp.481-493.

Lecture 4 Chalmers Johnson’s ‘Developmental State’ 1) an ideological commitment to economic growth and development; 2) the capacity of the State to promote that ideological commitment, and implement policies to do so.

b) unfair, exploitative terms of trade with Western companies Lecture 4 The political ‘arena’ in which external (exogenous) intervention in African states has occurred has been through: a) foreign aid; b) unfair, exploitative terms of trade with Western companies e.g. Tanzania - reached aid agreement with IMF 1986 - lost autonomy over most policy decisions 1986-1995 - regained some autonomy/control after 1996
