Economic Growth and the Rise of Civil Society: Agriculture in Taiwan and South Korea

Mick Moore

Chapter 4 in Developmental States in East Asia, 1988, pp 113-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Interpretations of the post-war industrialisation of Taiwan and South Korea have generally understated the extent of state regulation of economic life. In their accounts of industrial policy, Leudde-Neurath and Wade have devoted considerable attention to getting the facts straight — to detailing the nature and extent of state involvement in economic decision making — as well as to assessing the consequences of this involvement. The student of agricultural policy in these two ‘little tigers’ is in a more fortunate position. Existing literature leaves little doubt that the state has intervened deeply in the agricultural economy throughout the post-war period. Liberated from the need to establish and assert basic facts about the degree of state intervention, one can devote more attention to exploring some of its dimensions.
