East Asian Varieties of Capitalism and Socio-Economic Inequality
This article examines the deepening of socio-economic inequality manifested as dualisation in South Korea and deregulation in Hong Kong. It explains the extreme manifestations of inequality by reference to the nature of economic co-ordination, organised labour power and societal corporatism, and the politics of democratisation. It finds that South Korea's legacy of state-orchestrated co-ordinated market economy favoured the retention of a manufac…
China's new urbanization plan
This study presents a critical evaluation of China's New Urbanization Plan (NUP), a preliminary assessment of its implementation, and some policy recommendations. This study evaluates the NUP within the context of China's urbanization and its theoretical debates, arguing that the NUP harbors a hidden agenda of facilitating a transition in the regime of accumulation. The priority given to economic development imposes structural constraints on the …
Democratization, globalization, and institutional adaptation
This paper concurs with Hamilton-Hart and Yeung that in South Korea and Taiwan, the predominance of global production networks, growth of private enterprises, and democratization have placed developmental state institutions under pressure. However, despite the reorganization of the pilot agency and state bureaucracy, new institutions have emerged to take on the functions of policy consultation and coordination. These institutions continue to cont…
La reconstitution de l'alliance développementaliste en Corée du Sud et à Taïwan
Drawing on documentary research and in-depth interviews with private and public information technology actors, this article examines the impact of globalization and democratization on the South Korean and Taiwanese developmental states. In order to examine today’s developmental state, the changes in and continuities of “hard” and “soft” institutions as well as politico-structural factors must be studied alongside public policy tools. In the two c…

Eclipse or reconfigured? South Korea's developmental state and challenges of the global knowledge economy
Globalists and former students of the Asian developmental state maintain that the latter has succumbed to the forces of globalization. They believe that the global knowledge economy involves the thorough integration of the global economy, continuous innovation and networks rather than hierarchies and that these factors are foreign to the operational logic of the developmental state and thus render it obsolete. This article contends that the globa…
Deconstructing the Global City
This paper questions the hyper-globalist orientation among some leading analysts of the global city and their tendency to define it in functional terms, accounting for its presence by the agglomeration of talents and therefore to underexamine the global city's actual linkages. It argues that an examination of the linkages (geographical scope as well as capital, knowledge and labour-mediated) will alert one to the changing configurations of a glob…
The Internet and Civil Society
To what extent has the internet strengthened civil society? In which ways have civil society organizations (CSOs) used the internet to communicate their missions, enhance the discussion of public issues, extend networks and mobilize collective actions? This article seeks to answer these and related questions by reporting on an empirical study in Hong Kong. The study involves an analysis of the web pages launched by 14 environmental groups and 22 …
Labor and democratization in South Korea and Taiwan
The article examines the recent work by Rueschemeyer et. al. (1992) and revisits the classic issue of the social basis of democracy. It argues that Rueschemeyer et al. are biased in their definition of democracy, have focused too narrowly on the postures of individuals classes, and have produced a one-sided picture of the role of the workers in democratization. Using the experiences of South Korea and Taiwan, the article argues that the extent of…
