“…However, to frame a Chinese developmental state, specific politico-institutional and socio-cultural elements are essential. It must consider the country’s socio-cultural and institutional matrix, and should be framed within the context of the institutions that shape and define it (Karagiannis and Madjd-Sadjadi 2007 ).…”

“…Evidently, there is little doubt concerning the historical importance of Confucianism to Chinese politics; consequently, the rise of ‘a developmental state with Chinese characteristics’ has been highly dependent on certain historical, structural, cultural, and political factors, which are quite different from those of most other countries (Karagiannis and Madjd-Sadjadi 2007 ; Knight 2014 ). There is also the fundamental issue of the type of the development strategy.…”

“…However, changes that seek to remodel existing structures can face challenges that may cause upheavals in the socioeconomic milieu and, consequently, may be politically problematic. In the absence of more formalized and more accountable institutional structures, personal aspiratio ns can play a major role in political decisions (Karagiannis and Madjd-Sadjadi 2007 ). In addition, discipline between the different levels of party and government structure can be weak, leading to ineffective policy implementation and problems with corruption.…”

“…More to the point, participation is one of the defining features of the process itself that allows everyone in society to buy in to the objectives that are defined. In the absence of such participation by ‘social partners’, side-lined groups will resist change in both the production and political processes (Karagiannis and Madjd-Sadjadi 2007 ).…”

“…The theory of the developmental state, therefore, is one useful option that has already been adopted in some areas. This theory permits countries to accept some of the practices of corporatism, but it should take apart others and redefine them within the ‘socio-cultural matrix’ in which they may be placed (Karagiannis and Madjd-Sadjadi 2007 ).…”

The focus of this paper is to analyze sociocultural and politico-institutional factors that contributed greatly to China’s economic expansion. In doing so, the article reveals the importance of long-standing heterodox threads, namely, the role of history, political economy, institutional structures, local culture, social psychology, and international relations. In contrast to neoliberalism’s theoretical fallacies and destructive socio-economic outcomes, it is argued here that purposeful developmental intervention is crucial as it can promote the growth, positioning, quality, and competitiveness of local industries in international markets. The line of argument of this contribution is as follows. Through a lens of political history, the first section analyzes the country’s past development efforts. Subsequently, the main sections discuss important aspects of an alternative economic development framework in the context of China; these are based on a highly interventionist, heterodox, developmental state analysis and are examined by placing special emphasis on its politico-institutional and sociocultural traits. Finally, summary and conclusions end the paper.

The EU has been leaning towards evidence-based policymaking with the aim of ensuring coherence between industrial, environmental, climate, and energy policy. It focuses on supporting the development of a business environment which would enable sustainable growth, job creation, and innovation. It is generally agreed upon that, at the current level of development, the EU should focus on boosting innovations and theory and practice deliver an array of suggestions on how to achieve this goal. Among them clusters and cluster-led development play a prominent role. Poland inherently follows this belief and has introduced cluster policy to its policy mix by supporting cluster initiatives and cluster organizations. The objective of the paper is to investigate the evolution of cluster policy in Poland, identify its success factors, and propose recommendations for cluster policy. This case study of cluster policy in Poland is based on a series of in-depth interviews as well as secondary data. The conclusions resulting from this case study indicate that adoption by the government of a cluster policy at the national level and implementation of a comprehensive strategy for cluster development at regional and national levels is a basic condition for cluster policy success. Positive results can be achieved if public intervention is continuous and tailored to the needs of cluster organizations at different development stages with particular emphasis on the internationalization of cluster activities, which was a key measure highly evaluated by the respondents. The paper touches upon the timely issue of the future direction of cluster policy. The debate on it is accompanied by another debate on how to build an economic ecosystem capable of reaching sustainability goals.
