“…When the tankers and freighters that are indispensable elements of the global reorganization of production have reached the end of their useful lives, they are no longer dismantled in high-income countries, and instead broken up by casual workers in Bangladesh who are routinely exposed to carcinogenic substances and the risks of explosion (18). During the early stages of its extraordinarily rapid (if authoritarian) industrialization, South Korea had "a higher industrial accident rate than any other industrialized or rapidly industrializing country" (86); today, that dubious honor is held by China (82). However, for many low-and middle-income countries serious data limitations exist with respect to the full extent of work-related injury and illness (60).…”

In recent decades, public health policy and practice have been increasingly challenged by globalization, even as global financing for health has increased dramatically. This article discusses globalization and its health challenges from a vantage of political science, emphasizing increased global flows (of pathogens, information, trade, finance, and people) as driving, and driven by, global market integration. This integration requires a shift in public health thinking from a singular focus on international health (the higher disease burden in poor countries) to a more nuanced analysis of global health (in which health risks in both poor and rich countries are seen as having inherently global causes and consequences). Several globalization-related pathways to health exist, two key ones of which are described: globalized diseases and economic vulnerabilities. The article concludes with a call for national governments, especially those of wealthier nations, to take greater account of global health and its social determinants in all their foreign policies.

Section: Eroding the Value Of Pluralismmentioning

confidence: 99%

“…For a better realization of developmental state theory, a state needs to insulate itself from the demands of diverse social classes (Minns, 2001;Kim, 2009;Fritz and Menocal, 2007;Sehen and Tsegaye, 2012;Minns, 2006;Boyd and Ngo, 2005;Mkandawire, 2001). This assertion is based on the conviction that diverse local demands can detract the capacity of a state from achieving a better overall economic performance (Fritz and Menocal, 2007;Minns, 2006;United Nations, 2007). Concurring with this, Onis (1991, p. 119) contends that a developmental state model is -inconsistent with the vision of a pluralistic form of democracy, in which a multitude of small-scale interest groups enjoy broadly equal and unrestricted access to the state.‖ This is why some maintain that a developmental state neglects special interest claimants who may divert it from its main developmental priority (Onis, 1991, p. 119).…”

This research examines the progress achieved and the costs incurred as a result of the application of a developmental state model in Ethiopia. To this end, the researcher relied on secondary sources. Based on a thorough analysis of relevant sources, the following findings are obtained. Even though the developmental state has brought an observable level of economic growth, it has also caused several detrimental effects in other spheres: eroding the value of pluralism; endangering human rights; entrenching a single-party authoritarian rule; leading to rampant corruption; intensifying arbitrary intervention in the life of citizens. In implementing the model, the focus was on economic growth while the political aspect of it was sidelined. As a result, the researcher suggests that economic growth and political transformation (democratization) should be valued equally and pursued side-by-side, not in tandem.

“…These relations were the centrepiece of O'Donnell's () work on Argentina and of Collier and Collier's () influential comparative study of labour–state relations in the region. More recently, Minns () has shown how the relative autonomy of the state in Mexico during the 20 th century was achieved by mobilizing ‘bureaucratic mass organizations’ to pursue strategies that opposed entrenched elites (ibid. : 67).…”

Labour Control and Developmental State Theory: A New Perspective on Import‐substitution Industrialization in Latin America

Drawing on historical research into the period of import‐substitution industrialization (ISI) in Chile and Argentina between the 1930s and 1960s, this article claims that developmental state theory (DST) obfuscates a crucial feature of state intervention in Latin America. Specifically, despite a long‐standing interest in state–society relations, DST has been unable to incorporate adequately into its analytical framework labour–state relations and labour control in the workplace. This is because DST, in its various guises, privileges state–society relations mediated by institutions from which labour is implicitly or explicitly excluded. Extending the analytical lens of DST, the article combines critical labour‐relations and labour‐process theories to identify the purposive establishment of ‘regimes of labour control’ via changes in institutional and workplace relations. Using this expanded framework, it shows how the often vacillating strategies pursued by the state under ISI in Chile and Argentina, and the inefficient outcomes of ISI in these countries, can be better understood by considering efforts designed to exert control over labour.
