Abstract
In this book, Bob Jessop looks at developmental states from the outside; his project is to situate them in terms of larger historical trends from the nineteenth century down to the present. The perspective of this chapter is different; our goal is to look inside developmental states to try to understand how state actors are able to encourage private actors to develop key technologies and to make critical investments. In short, we are trying to specify the conditions that allow some state agencies to be developmental.
