Description
Summary:The developmental state is an important concept within critical development studies. This article examines two questions. The first is how the developmental state has been impacted by globalization processes. This is traced for five globalization processes: the globalization of finance, of production, and of trade, global climate change and global class structures. The second issue examined is how, through the prism of the developmental state, critical development studies intersects, fuses, and diverges from globalization studies. The answers to both questions are shown to be complex and difficult but not without interesting insights and possibilities.
