Double-Edged Diplomacy
Building an Integrative Approach to International and Domestic Politics
From Embedded Autonomy to Counter-Hegemonic Globalization
I got hooked on sociology as a 20-year-old. Engaging with the world as a sociologist, together with colleagues, comrades, and students, has been immensely rewarding for six decades. My work has centered primarily on what were once called developing countries and now comprise the Global South. This article recounts my sociological adventures, from efforts to understand the world as I found it in the early 1960s to my responses to current reactiona…
Dependent Development
Neoliberalism
In the final three decades of the twentieth century, the world's political economic framework underwent a far-reaching transformation from a state-centric to a neoliberal form (Sewell 2005). In the years following World War II, economies in all areas of the world had been governed by state-centered regulatory regimes. In the wealthy countries of North America, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, economies were based on free markets…

Embedded Autonomy
Embedded Autonomy
In recent years, debate on the state's economic role has too often devolved into diatribes against intervention. Peter Evans questions such simplistic views, offering a new vision of why state involvement works in some cases and produces disasters in others. To illustrate, he looks at how state agencies, local entrepreneurs, and transnational corporations shaped the emergence of computer industries in Brazil, India, and Korea during the seventies…

Double-Edged Diplomacy
Double-Edged Diplomacy
This original look at the dynamics of international relations untangles the vigorous interaction of domestic and international politics on subjects as diverse as nuclear disarmament, human rights, and trade. An eminent group of political scientists demonstrates how international bargaining that reflects domestic political agendas can be undone when it ignores the influence of domestic constituencies. The eleven studies in Double-Edged Diplomacy p…

Declining hegemony and assertive industrialization
Alternative explanations for the formation of U.S. foreign economic policy are explored using the acrimonious but inconclusive conflict between the United States and its largest South American ally over Brazil's restrictive policies toward the computer industry. After comparing a post-dependency/bargaining perspective, the theory of hegemonic stability, and Stephen Krasner's structural conflict model, the article argues that systemic perspectives…
Predatory, developmental, and other apparatuses
Disappointment over the contributions of Third World state apparatuses to industrial transformation and the increasing intellectual dominance of "neoutiliarian" paradigms in the social science has made if fashionable to castigate the Third World state as "predatory" and "rent seeking." This paper argues for a more differentiated view, one that connects differences in performance to differences in state structure. The "incoherent absolutist domina…

National Autonomy and Economic Development
Whether or not less developed countries can better realize their economic aspirations by strengthening their ties with developed countries will remain in dispute as long as there are rich and poor countries. Dispute will be particularly sharp while the main instruments of such interconnection are identifiable institutions like the multinational corporation. It is easier to map the growth of the multinational corporation than to assess its consequ…

Continuities and Contradictions in the Evolution of Brazilian Dependence
Bags of coffee loaded onto the ships that docked in the port of Santos were Brazil's link to the international economy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. International trade of unparalleled dimensions was coupled with capitalist accumulation of equally unparalleled scale in the center countries of the system. Countries at the periphery of the system helped support the accumulation of capital in the center by producing primary pro…

Direct investment and industrial concentration
Cross‐national comparison of industrial concentration is considered here in terms of two hypotheses. The ‘technology/market size’ hypothesis [Merhav, 1969] predicts greater concentration in less developed countries than in the larger markets of developed countries. The ‘miniature replica’ hypothesis predicts that, when the degree of foreign ownership is high, industries in less developed countries may be less concentrated than their counterparts …

The State and Economic Transformation
Effective state intervention is now assumed to be an integral part of successful capitalist development. The classic interpretations of Polanyi and Gerschenkron have brought the state to the fore in the analysis of European industrialization, puncturing the myth of the original industrial revolution as a purely private process. In the Third World, where the capacity of the private entrepreneurial class to undertake industrialization was always vi…
On the Road toward a More Adequate Understanding of the State
An intellectual sea change is underway in comparative social science, so the introductory essay to this volume argued. A diverse set of scholars with wide-ranging substantive concerns has begun to place the state, viewed as an institution and social actor, at the center of attention. Yet the introduction also suggested that the important work of theoretical reorientation is only beginning to be done. To overcome deeply rooted assumptions about th…
Bringing the State Back In
Until recently, dominant theoretical paradigms in the comparative social sciences did not highlight states as organizational structures or as potentially autonomous actors. Indeed, the term 'state' was rarely used. Current work, however, increasingly views the state as an agent which, although influenced by the society that surrounds it, also shapes social and political processes. The contributors to this volume, which includes some of the best r…
