Introduction : The State and Rural Development in East Asia -- The Role of Rural Institutions and State Campaigns in Development -- Rural Development in Taiwan, 1950s-1970s -- Rural Development in South Korea, 1950s-1970s -- Rural Development in China, 1980s-2000s -- Conclusion : The Rural Developmental State.
Summary:
"Mobilizing for Development examines how East Asia achieved rural development. Analysts generally agree that modern East Asian states have exceptionally strong institutions and that industrialization was largely a state-led process, but the developmental state literature generally ignores the role of the state in rural development, fails to account for variation among East Asian countries, and excludes China from comparative analysis. This work examines Taiwan (1950s-1970s), South Korea (1950s-1970s), and China (1980s-2000s) to show different outcomes on agricultural production, rural living standards, and village infrastructure"-- Provided by publisher.
