Lets look at developmental states

Some Definitions of the Developmental State Fritz and Menocal (2007: 533), for example, “understand a developmental state to exist when the state possesses the vision, leadership and capacity to bring about a positive transformation of society within a condensed period of time”. Bagchi (2000: 398) defines a developmental state as “a state that puts economic development as the top priority of government policy and is able to design effective instruments to promote such a goal”

Some Definitions of a Developmental State Ha-Joon Chang (1999: 183, 192) A developmental state is “a state which can create and regulate the economic and political relationships which support sustained industrialization…This state takes the goals of long-term growth and structural change seriously, “politically” manages the economy to ease the conflicts inevitable during the process of such change (but with a firm eye on the long- term goals), and engages in institutional adaptation and innovation to achieve these goals”.

Features of Successful Developmental States in the Past Mixed economy model in which the State does not replace the private sector but designs policies and institutions that harness private ownership, and the drive for profits for national development objectives Key functions of the state: (i) providing a vision, (ii) supporting the development of institutional and organizational capabilities, (iii) coordianting activities to ensure co-evolution of different sectors and parts of the economic system, (iv) managing conflicts – ensure costs/benefits of growth and crises are socially acceptable.

Chalmers Johnson (1987:140) Developmental states exist when: –(i) there is a developmentally-oriented political elite committed to break out of the stagnation of dependency and underdevelopment and for whom economic growth is a fundamental goal, –(ii) such an elite is not committed first and foremost to the enhancement and perpetuation of its own elite privileges, –and (iii) the elite sees its primary leadership task to discover how, organizationally to make its own development goals compatible with the market mechanism and the private pursuit of profit.

Adapting the Development State to the Twenty-first Century Increasing importance of knowledge in procesess of growth and development Not simply manufacturing but also services characterized by increasing returns Increase developmental impact of FDI and integration into global value-chains Regionalism Democratic developmental states by strengthening bottom-up citizens’ participation in governance and development processes New forms of governance

New Forms of Governance The changed role of government is rooted in the insight that governments cannot resolve societal problems or create societal opportunities alone but that governing is rather a matter for both public and private actors, and in particular interactions between and amongst them. This changing role of government is related to “the development of governing styles in which boundaries between and within public and private sectors have become blurred” (Stoker 1998: 17).

Some Definitions of Modern Governance A principal feature of emerging forms of governance is that governments are giving up “rowing” (through direct service provision and state owned enterprises), which will now be undertaken by private sector actors and local communities, and focusing on “steering” (leading, thinking and guiding) – see Osborne and Gaebler Kooiman (1993: 34) conceptualizes the shift as “away from ‘one-way steering and control’ to ‘two-way or multi-way designs’ in which people in a variety of roles and circumstances are engaged in mutual problem-solving. Pierre (2000: 242) characterizes the shift as “a shift from a centripetal to a centrifugal model of governing. In the centripetal model, the political centre was the undisputed source of political power and institutional capabilities. In the centrifugal model of governing, however, the state seeks to increase its points of contact with its external environment as a means of conveying its objectives to the surrounding society”.

Applying this in LDCs

Building Developmental State Capabilities in LDCs

Need for Ownership and Policy Space

Reinforcing Ownership Support home-grown development solutions –Build developmental state capacities –Reduce conditionality –Enhance production of local knowledge Implement aid management policies at the recipient country level –Information systems and peer review –Separate PRSP from aid policy

Aid Management Policies Improve information about aid into country Improve coordination and predictability Reduce transaction costs Build trust Provide a platform for mutual accountability Increase aid predictability and reduce volatility Ensure that technical assistance is more oriented to country needs and capacities

Yes LDCs Can
