Embedded Autonomy
States and Industrial Transformation
Book • 1995
Peter Evans's "Embedded Autonomy" explores the relationship between state capacity and economic development.
The book examines how different types of states, characterized by varying degrees of autonomy and embeddedness, have influenced industrial transformation in different countries.
Evans compares South Korea, Brazil, India, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting the role of state institutions, business elites, and social actors in shaping economic outcomes.
He argues that a state's ability to promote economic development depends on its capacity to balance autonomy from societal pressures with embeddedness in the social and economic fabric of the nation.
The book's comparative analysis has had a significant impact on the study of comparative politics and development.
