In this book, the author highlights the failure of neoliberalism, especially in developing countries, or what he terms 'the intellectual bankruptcy of neoliberalism', which, he believes, 'stems ultimately from its failure to base its discourse on a balanced and sophisticated theory of the inter-relationship between the market, the state, and other institutions'. He also tries to construct a credible alternative theoretical framework to neoliberalism, informed by a balanced understanding of empirical evidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe issues covered concern a rather wide range of domestic and international policy issues - including trade policy, privatisation, transnational corporations, and intellectual property rights.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHa-Joon Chang is Assistant Director of Development Studies in the Faculty of Economics and Politics, University of Cambridge.\u003cbr\u003eHa-Joon Chang is Assistant Director of Development Studies in the Faculty of Economics and Politics, University of Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 335\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52480501317939,"sku":"9781842771433","price":84.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/U1RtamZ1TERhU2l2bVdnMWMwa0ZiZz09.webp?v=1759721396","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/globalization-economic-development-and-the-role-of-the-state-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
