Vietnam has been exposed to various advantages and challenges since becoming a member of the AEC.This context requires innovation in the state's perception of governing, regulating and operating the country. In the contemporary stage, the developmental state model isof pivotal importance and necessity to the efforts of achieving the national goals ofprosperous people and a strong, democratic, equitable, and civilized country. This paper discusses concepts, roles and basic functions of a state, and analyzes key aspects of the formation ofa developmental state. Special focus is onthe state's market failure correcting role, its non-competitive nature, and the state that does not act for markets. The ultimate goals of the developmental state is to ensure the rights to live, liberties, and wealth of individuals. The concept of the developmental state wasfirst developed by Chalmers Ashby Johnson (1982). The developmental role of the state is centered on improvingits competence to promote market activities by means of ensuring public security, lessening uncertainty in the economy, mitigating asymmetricinformation, reducing transaction costs, etc. for markets. Finally, we suggest a package of seven solutions to the formation of a developmental government in Vietnam.

Diderot e a educação como projeto de Estado Resumo: O Iluminismo, além de movimento intelectual, também se traduziu em intensa atividade política, sendo uma das faces desta ação o despotismo esclarecido: fruto da aliança entre filósofos, que buscavam divulgar seus ideais, e monarcas absolutistas, empenhados em melhorar a sua imagem pública. A aproximação do filósofo Diderot com a imperatriz russa Catarina II, produziu reflexões sobre vários temas, um deles aqui explorado: o papel do Estado na educação pública, apresentado na obra Plano de Uma Universidade (1783).

Em seguida, discorremos sobre as bases da educação pública no século XVIII, e finalizamos com a proposta diderotiana sobre o papel do Estado no fomento da educação pública, enfatizando três propostas elementares, que, segundo o autor, promoveriam essa aliança: o acesso irrestrito à educação, a presença do Estado na estrutura administrativa e organizacional, e a atualização curricular.Palavras-Chave: Iluminismo; Diderot; Educação. Diderot and education as State project Abstract: The Enlightenment was not only an intellectual movement, but was also expressed in politics, such as in enlightened despotism. This was the result of an alliance between philosophers in search to spread their ideas and absolutist monarchs trying to enhance their public figures. Here we explore one among many fruits of the association between Diderot and Catherine the II, Empress of Russia: the role of the State in public education, as presented in The Plan of a University (1783). We start from a general presentation of enlightened despotism, focusing on Diderot and Catherine the Great’s relation; next, we explore the basis of public education on the XVIII century, and finally we present Diderot’s plan itself, in which the State has the role of fostering education, relying on three key aspects: unrestricted access to education, the presence of the State in the organizational and administrative structure, and the update of the curriculum.Keywords: Enlightenment; Diderot; Education.

Economic Well Being

In recent years discussions about the role of the state have been intense. Some argue in favour of an increased role of the state in the life of the people; others argue for a lesser and diminished role. Whatever the arguments, it is generally felt that the role of the state has been de-emphasised in recent years thereby making it unable to sustain the economic well-being of the people. This book, by presenting a number of suggestions, is an attempt to reinvigorate the state to make it more in tune with the requirements of the people. Using history as a guide, the author identifies four main models of the state that have developed in the twentieth century. These can be categorised as (i) the interventionist welfare state; (ii) the developmental state; (iii) the 'reinvented' entrepreneurial state, and (iv) the World Bank model of the humane market-friendly state. After categorising these different types of states he proceeds to analyse the reasons behind the decay of the state. These include their growing size and complexity, corruption, poor governance, weak political structures etc. to mention a few. At the same time, he also examines same success stories from the Commonwealth and East Asian countries. These include Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore to name a few. From these success stories the author puts forward what, in his view, are steps aimed at revitalising the state, particularly in developing countries.

Embedded Autonomy

AbstractThis paper revisits the concept of state autonomy in the context of globalization. Earlier literature either considered state autonomy from the social forces in broad institutional and cultural terms or from the dominant classes in a restrictive sense. However, in either case the focus remained on domestic/national society, not the global society. The discussion of relative autonomy of the state began among the Marxists in the 1970s and then graduated into the mainstream social sciences in the 1980s and 1990s. In the upshot, the notions of developmental state and the embedded autonomy have significantly added to our knowledge of the role of the state. This paper broadens the idea of embedded autonomy by locating the sources of embeddedness in both local as well global institutions and norms. The paper uses the Singapore case to illustrate some of the possibilities and limitations of the reconfigured role of the state in the face of globalization.

Policy Engagement

This article revisits the developmental state literature that stresses the unitary role of the state in steering economic development in East Asia. Focusing on the Korean state actors’ diversity and their agency after the trend of globalization and democratization, this article highlights various state actors as agents and looks into how the role of state actors has changed with industrial development, using the setting of the Korean online gaming industry over the past two decades. By examining government policy measures on the industry, I found that the state actors have actively engaged with the industry, however, this agency has not been uniform due to the different purposes of the actors and sometimes led a detrimental effect against the needs or expectations of the industry. The findings, thus, contribute to the literature by suggesting the potentiality of agent-driven institutional change and the heterogeneity that comes from the state actors’ policy engagement.

Role Of The State

Abstract In the epistemology of administrative science, one of many important dimensions has been the different subfields of the study of administration. Perhaps the biggest, longest running ‘turf’ battle between these different areas of administrative knowledge is that between public and business administration. This is a controversy that goes back at least to Adam Smith, with his specific limitation of the role of ‘the sovereign’ (government, or public administration) to justice, defense, and public works. In limiting government to these areas, note that Smith was also implicitly asserting that these were market, or ‘invisible hand’ failures: areas where the pursuit of self-interest would not yield the good of society, the specific moral justification Smith identified for market exchange. Contemporary discussions of the relative role of market and state are generally framed in terms of the role of the State, with market provision the default option. We will argue that even discussions of the role of the State can best be assessed through the concept of market failure. The nine broad types of market failure discussed include institutions, public goods, monopoly, asymmetric information, externalities, substantive issues, principal/agent problems, irrationality, and the implications of ‘creative destruction’.

Post-conflict reconstruction (PCR) has come away from a dynamic reading of the role of the state within contemporary reflections on peacebuilding. This article introduces the framework of developmental PCR that draws on the developmental state paradigm to offer a lens for understanding the role of the state and its complex interlinkages with other milieus such as the market in PCR. Developmental PCR is premised on three tenets: interdependence between economic development and security; the importance of state–market interdependencies within industrial development, as reconstruction; and how characterisations of statehood interact with reconstruction. The deployment of developmental PCR in the case study of the Nigerian Civil War illuminates certain realities such as the significance of economic nationalism to security, complex interdependencies across the state and market that underpinned key elements of industrial policy during reconstruction, and the nuances in the characterisation of the Nigerian state as strong on account of military regimes.

Chinese State

China's phenomenal economic growth has riveted attention on the role of the Chinese state. Several models, such as the developmental state, predatory state, irresponsible state, state capitalism and centrally managed capitalism, have contributed to our understanding of that topic, but none of them can capture the dynamism and complexity of the Chinese state's role. Drawing on two cases in the petroleum industry, this article argues that a state-management approach (SMMA) is in a better position to account for the role of the state and the nature of the state–national oil companies (NOCs) ties.1 If most countries embracing the market economy can be classified as a state-in-market paradigm, where state interventions in economic activities are subject to market forces, China's SMMA can be regarded as a market-in-state model, where China's state is superior to the market.

Since the 1990s, many analysts have sought to explain the differences in development paths between Brazil and South Korea, the latter often being pointed as an example of success. As a highly industrialized economy focused on international trade, the South Korean case stood out as a way of overcoming the backwardness of developing countries. However, there is a need for analysis that point to the specificities of the developmental state in South Korea, whose interventionist action was decisive in leveraging the country’s industrial production in accordance with internal business groups, as well as the geopolitical context favorable to outward-oriented industrialization. The Brazilian process, in turn, due to the wealth of natural resources and the large domestic market, has made the induction of the state in industrialization more artificial, whose policy supposes an element of coercion, induction and control. This research, therefore, seeks to analyze the specific dimensions of each case, highlighting the role of the state and its relationship with the internal bourgeoisie in the construction of an industrial policy. The trajectories of rise and decline of Brazilian and South Korean developmental state will be analyzed, including the current crisis of reconfiguration of political power that both countries are going through.
