A Chinese Bureaucracy for Innovation-Driven Development? Paperback / softback
by Alexandre De Podesta (Constructor University, Bremen and State University of Campinas, Brazil Gomes, Tobias (Constructor University, Bremen) ten Brink
Part of the Elements in the Politics of Development series
Paperback / softback
Description
This Element scrutinizes the attempts by the Chinese party-state bureaucracy since the 2000s to advance innovation and technological upgrading.
It examines insights from the developmental state debate – the need for a bureaucracy to achieve internal coherence and the capacity of that bureaucracy both to forge coalitions between bureaucrats, businessmen, and scientists and to discipline domestic companies.
Moreover, it assesses efforts to foster technological upgrading in the semiconductor and electric vehicle industries.
While there are significant differences between China and earlier successful developmental states, with the former facing problems such as the legacies of short-termism, limited monitoring capabilities, and flawed discipline over business, the authors find that, compared with other emerging capitalist economies, the Chinese bureaucracy has developed strong capabilities to advance 'innovation-driven development.' This Element seeks to provide avenues for comparing China with other late developers.
