States, Markets and Just Growth:
Development in the Twenty-first Century

This book explores the common concerns of developing countries in the quest for just growth, while also emphasizing special regional needs. The opening chapters summarize the pressing shared imperatives of globalization, democracy, poverty, and inequality while the chapters that follow analyze the record of different regions and countries in achieving just growth.

Each author addresses four specific issues:

States, markets, and growth: How much should states intervene in the market in order to promote growth?
States, markets, and distribution: How much emphasis should development strategies put on deliberate redistribution and/or poverty alleviation?
Globalization: How constrained, as a result of globalization, are developing countries when choosing their development paths?
Democracy: Are democracies able to reconcile economic growth with distribution?

In considering these issues, States, Markets, and Just Growth advances the proposition that well organized states that systematically incorporate popular concerns will continue to be fundamental to the pursuit of just growth in the new century.

The book is edited by Atul Kohli, Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University, Chung-in Moon, Dean of the Graduate School of International Studies and Professor of the Political Science Department at Yonsei University, Seoul, and Georg Sørensen, Professor of International Politics and Economics at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. Contributors are Atul Kohli, Chung-in Moon, Georg Sørensen, Barbara Stallings, Michael P. Moore, Howard White, Robert R. Kaufman, Yun-han Chu, Ziya Ønis, Rani D. Mullen, Dickson Eyoh and Richard Sandbrook.
