Abstract
Previous chapters have focused on the advanced capitalist states and on the least developed states in the Third World. I have tried to show how the transformation of statehood has consequences for security (i.e., the transformation of war discussed in the previous chapter); for welfare and economic growth (involving the relationship between states and markets; see Chapters 2 and 3); and for international order (Chapter 6). The picture outlined in previous chapters is incomplete because the focus was on two groups of states: the advanced states and the least developed Third World states. If the advanced and the least developed states are at different ends of a continuum, there has been little mention of the states in-between. These ‘in-betweens’, which I shall term ‘modernizing states’, are the subject of this chapter.KeywordsMarket EconomyChinese Communist PartyPrevious ChapterExternal ThreatInternational OrderThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
