Asian Tigers
Testing Theories of Development

Some Problems with Dependency Theory
• Sometimes the surplus is invested in the host country---location of plants, services
• This can stimulate domestic industry and business
• The result: “Dependent Development”
• So maybe stagnation is not inevitable
• Singapore is a good example…
![Page 3: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why institutions are needed to spur development
• Poor countries can’t afford to wait while natural market forces work their beneficial effects.– Market forces take too long
– Produce unbalanced economies
– Vulnerable to price shocks
– Vulnerable to manipulation by strong trading partners

Requirement for development: A developmental State
• Example of Soviet Union
• Compatible with Keynes
• Compatible with embedded liberalism
• Historical experience
• Gerschenkron’s contribution

If You’re Early, use the market! (?)
![Page 6: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
If You’re Late, Use the State!
• Development Banks
• The STATE– Czarist Russia and Soviet Union
![Page 7: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The advantages of backwardness
• Need for rapid development: state-managed liberalism
• British example
• British investment in a “developing” country: the U.S.
• Technology diffusion
• Late developers got the newest technology
![Page 8: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It pays to be late: four reasons
• Access to state-of-the-art technology
• Latecomers grow faster
• Quick move to heavy industry
• Development is possible through contact with the International Economy

Leapfrogging: Access to the Latest Technology
![Page 10: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Latecomers grow faster…

Development is possible through contact with the international economy
![Page 13: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The more integration, the more growth
![Page 14: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is common to all theories of development: Accumulation of Capital is the Key
• Theories differ on the BEST way• Trade? • Aid?• Technology transfer?• State mobilization of capital?• ISI?• Growth of a middle class?• Dependent Development?
![Page 15: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Review of Dominant explanations for Development
• Liberal claim…….
• Marxists and dependency theorists maintain….
• Economic Nationalists demand……
• And Theories of state-led development claim….
![Page 16: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Who is right?
• Maybe it depends on the conditions under which a country tries to develop
• And countries have to learn to play their cards right

Taiwan has ridden the crest of the product cycle…..
![Page 26: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How did Taiwan do it?
• Colonial legacy
• Japan was a different colonial power than Britain, France, and Belgium
• Japan contributed to Taiwan’s economic development
![Page 27: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Role of the State
• KMT conviscated Japanese assets after WW II
• No middle class—the state did not emerge from within Taiwanese society
• An authoritarian, non-democratic state….
• ….That guided the growth of the economy– To attract foreign investment
– Only resource was disciplined labor force
– Investment in R&D
![Page 28: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
U.S. Aid and Hegemony
• US need to build up strong capitalist countries to counter communism
• USAID allied with the small business elite
• US forced switch from ISI to Export orientation
We should never underestimate
the role of U.S. aid in the
development of the Asian Tigers

The other “Tigers” have gone through a similar process

Singapore

Late Developers as a test of theory
• Development in these countries challenge most of our existing theories about development, and they demonstrate the power of some "parts" of the theories, and diminish the power of other "parts" of the theories
![Page 39: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
…..as a test of dependency theory
• Troublesome because– Dependent on the world economy (terms of trade
worked in their favor
– Developed with massive amounts of Cold War aid• Aid was used wisely
• Military burden carried by American taxpayers
![Page 40: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Why Wallerstein would not like the “tigers”
• Their theories are static and the “Tigers” developed dynamically
• They developed with very little income inequality
• Their colonial legacies helped development
![Page 41: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
But why Gerschenkron would like them…….
• They conform most to his theory of tate-led development and managed markets
• (They also conform to Keynes’ embedded liberalism—Gerschenkron didn’t really care about income inequality)
• They show that timing and technology are everything
![Page 42: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
These countries developed in a “dependent” relationship
• They showed that foreign investment can contribute to development
![Page 43: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
What will all of this economic development do to repressive governments?
• Can new information technologies lead to more freedom?
![Page 44: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
But what about liberal theory?
• Undermines generalizations of liberal theory
• These countries had strong, repressive, developmental states
![Page 45: What Did Asia Do Right?bev.berkeley.edu/ipe/IPE 2010/19 Asian Tigers Taiwan.pdf · Asia-US GDP Growth. Decline in poverty rate. Attracting foreign investment, accumulating capital](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050612/5fb325a504f3f922d44abfb2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What about the role of culture? “Asian values?”
• Did Asian “culture” make a difference?
• Does Asian culture undermine the Western laissez-faire approach to economic policy
• Willingness to sacrifice?
• Commitment to community instead of the individual
• Authoritarian culture?

What is true is…….
