Tore Linné Eriksen og de store utviklingsspørsmålene
This article reviews some of Tore Linné Eriksen's works within development studies/development research. In a recent introduction to development studies from 2013, he presented development research as a cross-disciplinary social science approach that addresses the grand problems of mankind. Eriksen's own research into these grand problems has concentrated on the causes of national and international inequality and poverty. In 1974 he supported the…

China's Decentralized and Inegalitarian Developmental State
This article investigates China's market reforms and rapid economic development from the late 1970s. The following questions are posed: (1) How did the Chinese 'peasant revolution' and the rural policies and institutions of Mao China influence the market reforms and subsequent economic development? (2) How does China's development after the market reforms relate to Marxist and Polanyian notions of proletarization and commodification of land and l…
The Other Canon against Dishwashing Economics
Erik Reinert explains the wealth and poverty of nations as an outcome of their economic activities. He contends that successful economic development requires specialisation in economic activities with swift technological change, economies of scale, and synergies with other economic activities, and that these activities need to be nurtured and protected by government policies. The review highlights Reinert's theoretical discussions, which are root…
The Politics of Survival in the Making of Weak and Strong States
This article outlines an approach to state building that focuses on the relationship between states and regimes. Our basic argument is that patterns of state formation and the emergence of strong or weak states are determined by three kinds of structural constraints: (1) the nature of the security threats faced by regimes; (2) the state's sources of revenue; and (3) the social basis of the ruling regime. The key mechanism that mediates between su…

The political economy of the dollar and the yen in East Asia
From the early 1980s until 1997 large amounts of Japan's current account dollar surplus were invested in U.S. Treasury securities. This economic relationship developed into an “alliance” sustained by the economic policies of U.S. and Japanese authorities. The U.S.-Japanese alliance indirectly promoted East Asian export-led growth during 1985–95. However, policies associated with the U.S.-Japanese alliance also contributed significantly to the 199…
Explaining Taiwan's policies in the South China Sea, 1988–99
The current paper discusses Taiwan's policies in the South China Sea during the period 1988–99. These policies are discussed with reference to ‘realist’ and ‘non-realist’ theoretical approaches. The realist position regards Taiwan's South China Sea policies as an outcome of its relations with the People's Republic of China and the Southeast Asian countries. These policies are fashioned and implemented in a coherent way by a unitary state. Two ‘no…
Development Through Want of Security
Kristen Nordhaug, ‘Development Through Want of Security: The Case of Taiwan’, Forum for Development Studies, 1998:1 pp. 129–161. The article investigates changes in economic policies and corresponding policy-making institutions in the postwar Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC). It is argued that successive changes took place from unproductive ‘rent-seeking’ to successful ‘development-oriented’ economic policies. These policy changes are related to…
