Statement of Authenticity I declare that this thesis is my own original work and all sources have been acknowledged. Hung Hung Pham April 2012 Abstract The developmental state has been widely credited as the most important factor behind the East Asian post-war “miracles.” Indeed, it is generally seen as having helped to shift the weight of the international economic order towards ‘the East.’ However, the dominance of processes associated with ‘globalisation’ at the beginning of the twenty-first century is commonly thought to have substantially undermined the viability and potential of this state- led development model. Yet, the recent rapid transformation of some emerging economies, notably China and Vietnam, suggests that this economic development model may remain important even in an era of globalisation. Taking Vietnam as a case study, this thesis argues that despite significant differences in the actions, capacities and ideological orientations between the Vietnamese state and other states in the region, the political leaders of Vietnam have followed the interventionist, state-led pattern of development that is connected to the successful East Asian developmental states. As a consequence, and on the basis of the original empirical research undertaken here, the thesis further argues that despite the potentially transformative impact of processes associated with globalisation, the developmental state, or the state-led development model, remains a viable, influential, and persistent feature of the development processes in Vietnam. ii Acknowledgements I never thought that I would continue studying ten years after graduating from my bachelor degree, or five years since my master’s degree. But the opportunity arose and made me re- think my decision. The first people I must thank are my wife and our lovely children, who supported me greatly on my first decision of undertaking the project, as we had never lived far from each other for about a week, thus, what would happen when this course takes at least three years? In addition, they have encouragingly supported me during my hardship of doing this research. For this reason, I would also like to thank my two fathers and my mother and other members of my extended family for their great help and encouragement for myself and my own family from the beginning to the end of my research project. In terms of financial support, I owe a lot to my sponsor, Project 100 of Haiphong City. But more specifically, I would like to sincerely thank all the pioneers of the project for their resolute commitment despite significant initial challenges and difficulties. Additionally, my special thanks are given to Mr Hung Manh Dang, the head of the Project Office, and all other members of the office, notably Ms Linh Dieu Mai, who have helped me much more than just what a financial sponsor can normally do. Moreover, I always understand that I have been sponsored by all the people and institutions having contributed to our state revenues, and for whom I would like to express my great thanks now and wish to pay back as much as possible by my future devotion. Most important to the success of my research has been my supervisors, Professor Mark Beeson and Doctor André Broome. I have always thought that how lucky I am to have such kind, nice, considerate, and encouraging supervisors. I have been deeply indebted and do not know how to thank Mark Beeson, my former lead supervisor, and still my external supervisor now even though Mark has moved to Australia. From the bottom of my heart, I always regard iii Mark as my third father for his kindness and great support and for my personal feelings. The same thanks I would like to give to André Broome, my current lead supervisor, who has been enthusiastically helpful and extremely encouraging. Mentioning my sincere thanks to my supervisors, I cannot forget to thank Julie Gilson, whose early advice on the project was also helpful, especially her recommendation about Mark as a suitable supervisor for me. My study would have followed another direction if I had not had Julie’s help at the beginning. Last but not least are all other academic staffs and my colleagues at our POLSIS Department who have significantly and encouragingly helped me in both my study and my personal life since I first arrived in Birmingham. I will definitely keep missing our POLSIS family forever! iv Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Conceptualising the Developmental State 16 1.1. The State Debate 20 1.2.

  • 373 CONCLUSION Throughout the 20Th Century, Vieät-Nam Was at The
    CONCLUSION Throughout the 20th century, Vieät-Nam was at the intersection for most of the international powers in politics and culture: France, China, the Soviet Union, and the United States. For more than a century, the changes in aesthetics in Vieät-Nam roughly followed the course of the nation’s relations with these foreign powers. Inevitably, they left their traces in Vietnamese culture, more or less, according to their approaches to Vieät-Nam. The conclusion locates these changes at four turning points in Vietnamese art history and reviews Socialist Realism in the post-doi moi context. Consideration is also given to the introduction of alternative art schools that might challenge current Vietnamese institutions and help nurture a new generation of creative visual artists. Such institutions might fill the gaps between current Vietnamese art theory and practice and their relationship to the global art world. These alternative art schools could also disseminate a more complete and objective account of Vieät-Nam’s art history, which as outlined in the introduction, is one of the governing principles of this thesis. The four turning points: The four turning points of change are: the introduction of western influences under colonialism, the adoption of Socialist Realism in North Vieät-Nam, the pursuit of individuality and expressive art in South Vieät-Nam and the transformation in visual arts under doi moi. At the beginning of the 20th century, the first influential turning point was already in progress with the imposition, in the late 19-century, of French colonial values, which were, and still are, most apparent in the architectural landscape and the adoption of western styled clothing.

  • 1 Vietnam Vo Hieu
    1 Vietnam Vo Hieu I. Introduction Vietnam – sometimes spelled Viet Nam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and the East Sea (the South China Sea) to the East. Hanoi, the nation’s capital, lies on the banks of the Red River. It is not only the country’s political, cultural and educational capital but also the most important economic center in the North. Ho Chi Minh City, the new name for Saigon, lies just north of the Mekong Delta in the South, and is the largest city in Vietnam. The city, with a population of seven million, functions as the country’s economic heart and business hub. Danang, in the central part of the country, is the third largest city and an important port. The country was usually called Annam until 1945, when the Proclamation of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam was written by Ho Chi Minh president and announced in public, solemn declared to the world at Ba Dinh Square on September 2, 1945 changed the official name back to Việt Nam. Since the use of Chinese characters was discontinued at this time, the alphabetic spelling of Vietnam is now official. I.1 Geography, Climate Viet Nam country is located in the South East Asia, stretching from 8° 27 to 23° 23 N and from 102° 08 to 109° 30 E, Viet Nam has a total land area of 329,314 km2, of which the area of plains is only 7 million ha and the remainder is mountains, hills and plateau.

  • Politics and Markets in East Asia: Is the Developmental State Compatible with Globalisation?
    Politics and Markets in East Asia: Is the Developmental State Compatible with Globalisation? Mark Beeson A revised version of this paper will appear in Richard Stubbs and Geoffrey R.D. Underhill (eds.), Political Economy and the Changing Global Order, 3rd Edition, Ontario: Oxford University Press. Abstract: This paper details the emergence and role of the ‘Developmental State’ in East Asia and assesses whether it is compatible with processes assocated with ‘globalisation’. The paper argues that despite the fact that the power and authority of states generally has been undermined by globalisation, and more general governance problems in the region, much of Southeast Asia still needs an effective developmental state. One of the most remarkable and surprising aspects of international economic development in the post-World War II period has been the rise of East Asia. A region that observers like Karl Marx and Max Weber once regarded as synonymous with a form of incurable ‘Oriental’ backwardness rapidly transformed itself into the most dynamic economic region on the planet. Even the financial and political crises that hit parts of the region in the late 1990s failed either to stop the broadly based processes of economic expansion that had taken hold in East Asia, or to erase the very real gains that had been made there over the preceding thirty of forty years. The big question, of course, is how did much of East Asia manage to pull off such a feat? This is an especially important question at a time when some observers think that the sorts of ‘interventionist’ policies associated with East Asia’s most successful phase of development are no longer compatible with an increasingly integrated international political economy.

  • Issues and Challenges for Building a Developmental State
    African Journal of International Affairs, Vol. 8, Nos. 1&2, 2005, pp. 23–43 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2006 (ISSN 0850-7902) Reinventing the African State: Issues and Challenges for Building a Developmental State Kehinde Olayode* Abstract Academic discourse and development policy debates have grappled with the contentious issue of the state–market interactions in Africa’s development agenda and processes, particularly since the 1960s independence era. At the heart of this debate has been the contestation over the agency for development. The global wave of democratisation that swept through most parts of the developing world in the late 1980s and early 1990s revived this debate on the linkage between democracy, sustainable development, and state capacity in Africa (Leftwich 1996). The twenty-first century is witnessing a resurgence of confidence in a new type of activist state: democratic and developmental in character and content. The fundamental concern of this study is whether the exigencies of globalisation can be reconciled with democratisation and sustainable development. This provokes further questions such as: how can fragile democratic regimes improve their prospects for consolidation at a moment when the distributive impact of concurrent programmes of economic liberalisation and adjustment are highly contestable? Are the economic reforms prescribed by Bretton Woods Institutions (BWI) and bilateral donors compatible with democratisation and developmental processes? How can the state’s systematic loss of capacity to manage the economy be reconciled with demands for a more democratic polity? Finally, this paper examines the strategies for building the capacity of the African state as agent of development and partnership in the democratisation process.

  • Examining Communication and Democracy in the Vietnam War Caycie Maynard
    Examining Communication and Democracy in the Vietnam War Caycie Maynard B.A. Candidate, Department of History, California State University Stanislaus, 1 University Circle, Turlock, CA 95382 Received 16 April 2019; accepted May 2019 Abstract The Vietnam War Era is a complex and unfortunate time for United States’ history. Despite US involvement beginning in 1950, large-scale discussion and public knowledge did not begin until much later. Involvement in the Vietnam War began before the American population was able to exercise their democratic right. In addition, President Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon all contributed to the deception and violation of the American people. Government officials created a palatable narrative covering the events of the Vietnam War and engaged in the war in secrecy, violating democratic rights in the process. When events developed beyond being easily concealed, the American people grew restless and resisted intensely until they were heard. Keywords: Vietnam, discussion, communication, rhetoric, opposition, Democracy, reactions, secrecy, resistance.

  • Models of the Developmental State
    Models of the developmental state Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira Abstract This paper seeks to understand the developmental state and its historical role in industrial revolutions and afterwards. First, the developmental state is defined as an alternative to the liberal state. Second, it is argued that industrial revolutions have always taken place within the framework of a developmental state. Third, four models of developmental states are defined according to the point in time at which the industrial revolution took place and the central or peripheral character of the country. Fourth, the paper describes how the state withdraws partially from the economy after the industrial revolution, but the developmental state continues to have a major role in directing industrial policy and in conducting an active macroeconomic policy. Keywords Public administration, economic planning, macroeconomics, liberalism, nationalism, economic policy, economic development JEL classification O10, O11, O19 Author Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira is an Emeritus Professor with the Department of Economics of the Sao Paulo School of Economics, Getulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil. Email: [email protected]. 36 CEPAL Review N° 128 • August 2019 I. Introduction In the 1950s, Brazilian political scientists and economists identified “developmentalism” as a set of political ideas and economic strategies that drove Brazil’s rapid industrialization and underpinned the coalition of social classes identified with national development. Hélio Jaguaribe (1962, p. 208) stated in the early 1960s that “the core thesis of developmentalism is that the promotion of economic development and the consolidation of nationality stand as two correlated aspects of a single emancipatory process”. Through “national developmentalism”, which would become the established term for the country’s development strategy, Brazilian society was successfully overcoming the patrimonial state that characterized its politics until 1930.
