Description

This book presents a radical reassessment of East Asia's developmental state model, challenging the widely accepted narrative of neutral state cooperation between officials and business leaders. Dae-oup Chang argues that the developmental state fundamentally exists to advance capital interests at the expense of labour, supported by deliberate mystification of economic processes. Drawing on Marxist theory, the work deconstructs state development ideology and exposes the exploitative mechanisms underlying Korea's rapid industrialisation. By examining the relationship between capital, labour, and state power, this Routledge publication offers critical insights into how developmental policies have historically prioritised capitalist accumulation while marginalising worker interests. Essential reading for scholars studying political economy, Korean history, labour relations, and the ideological foundations of capitalist development models across East Asia.

Key Features

Offers a Marxist critique of the widely-accepted developmental state theory and its claimed neutrality between capital and labour interests.

Examines how Korea's developmental state deliberately promoted capitalist interests while mystifying the exploitation of labour throughout industrialisation.

Provides critical analysis of the relationship between state officials, business leaders, and working classes in shaping Korean economic development.

Published by Routledge as part of their Advances in Korean Studies series, positioning it within contemporary scholarship on East Asian political economy.

Challenges mainstream narratives about state cooperation by revealing the exploitative functions underlying developmental policies and economic growth.
