Gay, Daniel Robert. "Beyond modernism and postmodernism : reflexivity and development economics." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/192.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis has two main objectives. First, it outlines a taxonomy of reflexive development practice, which aims at transcending the divide between modernism and postmodernism in the methodology of development economics. Second, the thesis examines the taxonomy in two countries at opposite ends of the development spectrum, Vanuatu and Singapore, attempting to show that the taxonomy provides insights for policymaking. The taxonomy is the principal contribution. It suggests an examination of external values and norms; an assessment of the importance of local context; a recognition that policies can worsen the problems that they try to solve; and the idea that theory and policy should be revised as circumstances change. The taxonomy is developed as a way of addressing the difficulties encountered by the modernist Washington Consensus on the one hand and postmodernism on the other. Some postmodernists have criticised modernists for trying to make universal statements based on findings specific to a particular time and context. A further criticism is that the modernist-type theorising exemplified by the Washington Consensus assumes too much certainty, putting excessive faith in the ‘expert’ outsider. Postmodernists, on the other hand, have often been criticised for being relativist or even being against theory itself. In extreme versions of postmodernism, the entire rejection of epistemological foundations allows no analysis or significant discussion. The taxonomy aims to steer away from the pitfalls of either tradition, emphasising in particular the unity of theory and practice and the need for analysis and policy advice to take account of both the objectivism of the outsider and the subjectivism of the insider. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part discusses how the open systems approach of critical realism, John Maynard Keynes and the neo-Austrians aims to overcome the difficulties of modernism and postmodernism. It then examines some of the principal uses of the term reflexivity in the past century or so, suggesting that some of these uses are compatible with each other and with the idea of open systems. This section draws on the work of several economic methodologists and sociologists, including Karl Marx, Karl Mannheim, Pierre Bourdieu, Anthony Giddens and thinkers within the sociology of scientific knowledge. Next is a critical discussion of the Washington Consensus and its amended version, followed by the development of the taxonomy. Part two begins with a brief discussion of the nature of comparison within developing economies, before looking at the taxonomy in the context of Vanuatu and Singapore. Following the case-studies is an attempt to draw lessons from the experience of the two countries. Finally, the discussion is summarised and some conclusions established.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the material linkages generated by electronics foreign direct investment (FDI) in Scotland and Singapore. The reason for undertaking the research owes to the general perception that FDI has not developed strong local supply linkages in Scotland. Given that linkages between multinationals and local suppliers constitute the most important long-term benefit from FDI -in terms of additional employment, technology and skills- this seems worrying for Scotland's long-term economic development. Although FDI has become the standard vehicle ameliorating the industrial restructuring process in less favoured regions, our understanding of linkages remains poor. Recent theoretical discourses within the spatial literature claim organisational change within multinationals is improving the prospects for localised linkages. Critics of this scenario point out that linkage formation in less favoured regions remains weak. In order to assess these diverging claims, empirical informa tion collected using intensive research techniques examines the extent, nature, and quality of linkages generated by a small sample of electronics multinationals in Scotland and Singapore. Findings from empirical material point towards quite low linkage formation in both regions. Although higher linkage levels were found in Singapore, this mainly owed to FDI in Singapore's higher value supply sectors. On the whole linkages tend to be concentrated in low value supply areas such as fabricated metal and plastic parts, particularly in Scotland. These rather limited linkages effects go against the claims made by the localisation school mentioned above. The key causal factors inhibiting local linkage development were examined by scrutinising various plant-level characteristics such as procurement autonomy and design. Inter-plant sourcing differentials reveal that truncated plant autonomy in key areas of decision making responsibility, particularly design, play a significant part in preventing linkage development. In this respect, Singapore's policies towards developing more autonomous design-intensive FDI seems to facilitate local linkage development. In order to to maximise its regional economic potential, the thesis concludes with the need for greater policy intervention towards FDI and ends with specific policy recommendations aimed at increasing linkages in Scotland.

Full text
Abstract:
La majorité de la littérature académique sur les théories de développement économique se fonde sur l’analyse des d’Etats-nations. Or, après avoir pratiquement disparu jusqu’aux années 1960, les cités-états se manifestent à nouveau comme des exemples de succès de prospérité économique. Contrairement à l’antiquité et la renaissance, pendant lesquelles les cités-états les plus connus d’un point de vue économique se situaient en Europe, les cités-états modernes se situent notamment en Asie et au Moyen-Orient. Le but de cette recherche sera d’explorer, d’analyser, et de conceptualiser les facteurs clés de succès économique des cités-états contemporaines à l’exemple de Hong Kong, Singapour, Abu Dhabi et Dubaï pour arriver à un modèle de développement économique spécifique aux cités-états. Après une étude de cas comparative, il faut d’abord souligner le fait qu’une conceptualisation de la stratégie de développement des cités-états nécessite une prise en compte des facteurs non-économiques, notamment des facteurs historiques, géographiques, ainsi que politiques. Suite à l’analyse de ces facteurs, nous pouvons regrouper les principales caractéristiques en quatre catégories, notamment la création d’une identité corporative, la flexibilité de la main d’œuvre, l’intégration régionale-internationale, ainsi que l’utilisation des outils de city branding à des buts relatifs au développement de la cité-état. En regroupant les différentes similarités entre les stratégies de développement des cités-états étudiés, nous pouvons donc estimer que les cités-états globales adoptent une stratégie de globalisation où, contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, une forte intervention de l’état coexiste avec des mesures de libéralisation économique
City-states have thrived in the antiquity and the renaissance period as exemplified by the city-states of Athens, Venice or Hamburg. In modern times, city-states have widely disappeared until the 1960s, when city-states and city-state structures in Asia and the Middle East have re-emerged and proven to become considered as examples of successful economic development and prosperity. The aim of this research paper was to explore, analyze and conceptualize the main factors of economic development in Singapore, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Findings suggest that in order to analyze the economic development strategy in a comprehensive way, non-economic factors (namely historical factors, geographical factors, and political factors) need to be taken into consideration. Based on the analysis of the different factors, we can identify a common strategy based on four major characteristics: the creation of a corporative identity, labor flexibility, regional-international embeddedness, and the utilization of city branding tools for development-related purposes. This strategic development model for global city-states can be referred to as an integrated globalization strategy and implies that contrary to what we may see in the literature on the development strategies of nation-states, state intervention in city-states not only co-exists with but reinforces the globalization and economic liberalization process. In other words, the decision-makers in global city-states do not passively bear the consequences of globalization but actively use globalization as a tool for economic development, thus justifying and reinforcing the legitimacy of their intervention

Abstract:
The Chinese government's economic reforms over the last couple of decades have led to rapid economic growth for the country. However, many empirical studies on the post-Mao China show that the economic transition towards market economy is in large part actually propelled by active local governments, which are encouraged to make policy innovations in order to promote better local economic development. This thesis aims to offer an understanding on how, why and under what circumstances the local governments of post-Mao China - while still controlled by a one-party communist regime- are able to make policy innovations to deal with business operating under market transition conditions. Theoretically, the phenomenon of local policy innovation can be analyzed with a framework involving three dimensions. First, local policy innovation can be seen to take place in order to respond to challenges presented by the changing macro development environments. Second, local policy innovation can be understood as a consequence of changing responsibilities and competencies between central and local governments. Third, local policy innovation may be related to the dynamics of local-central strategic interactions. Empirically, with the contextual approach as its chosen methodology, this theoretical framework is applied to two successful cases of innovation in Jiangsu province within the Yangtze Delta of post-Mao China: Kunshan Economic and Technological Development Zone (KETZ); and China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park (CSSIP). The history of these two national development zones identifies the former as a case of a 'locally initiated project' while the latter represents an example of 'local implementation of a centrally initiated project'. In terms of types of local-central dynamic interaction, 'state- intention to tolerate', 'ex-post state endorsement', and 'ex-ante state adoption' were seen sequentially in the case of KETZ, while 'marginalizing the local', 'local obedience', and 'local flexibility' operated simultaneously in the case of CSSIP. The thesis concludes that in post-Mao China significant local policy innovations were able to take place when localities encountered structural changes, including China's reengaging with globalization, changing local-central relations, and serious territorial competition. Actions of local policy innovations were ignited by agents, across scales, whose self-interests were highly involved in local economic development in the context of asymmetric decentralization. More specifically, in the post-Mao China context of economic decentralization to the local combined with political centralization under the party, career-minded local officials utilized their decentralized 'economic resources' to strive for more development, which in turn became their 'political capital' with the upper-level government to get themselves promoted.

Abstract:
The successful economic growth and the rapid changing of urban development had changed Singapore from a developing to a developed country. The living environment of Singapore has been changed with in the last 25 years. My thesis mainly describes foods and food markets in Singapore. Due to better educational background, higher consumption power and small family planning, the eating habit of Singaporeans has changed. A lot of young Singaporeans today, don't buy their daily marketing needs from the traditional wet market for they prefer to do their weekly marketing in the comfortable, clean, convenient and air conditioned modern supermarket. With the advance electronic cooking equipment in kitchen, they save time in cooking to buy prepared or instant cooked food from supermarkets, instead of raw foodstuff from the traditional wet markets. These rapid changes of the Singaporeans' life style and eating habit created an opportunity. For me to look into the area that directly or indirectly involved with my professional work as a practicing graphic designer and a design educator. The area I am looking into is 'the value of food packaging'. I realized that the contrast of the traditional foodstuffs selling in traditional wet market and the imported foodstuffs displayed within the modern supermarket, the difference has signaled a strong message. If the traditional foodstuffs still does not improve their dull and unhygienic image to catch up with the rapid changing urban living environment. They will disappear from our dining table sooner or later. My thesis has to reach 2 aims. Firstly, to awake the design students (tomorrow's designer). To be more sensitive towards the local traditional food markets. Discover the values of the local ethnic foodstuffs and going to find out why these delicious and remarkable local foodstuffs been rejected outside of the modern supermarket. To create a new image through packaging design to replace with the original dull and unhygienic image. Secondly, the contents and the criterias of the modern packaging design I proposed within this thesis, could be applicable in the practicing design field, food manufactory and most importantly, in the design institutions

Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to (a) examine higher education activities from 1945 to 1980 before Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong became newly industrialized countries; (b) study the higher education reforms that each country made in its progress in order to meet the challenge; (c) compare and contrast the higher education systems that were adopted; and (d) identify a single Asian higher education system model (descriptive model) for any country that desires to become an industrialized country. Historical research was utilized in this study. This study was approached as follows: First, the economic growth of the countries under study was examined. Then, the countries' higher education systems were compared and contrasted. The result is at least one possible higher education system model that can be used by any country to improve the future performance of its higher education system. The study concluded that the models of higher education used by Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong from 1945 to 1980 were not identical. However, they came to similar conclusions in terms of economic development. In this case, an emerging industrial country like the social and economic condition of Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong would find that adoption of those higher education models might be appropriate. For instance, an emerging country with a social and economic system like Taiwan would find Taiwan's higher education model appropriate for adoption in that country. On the other hand, if an emerging industrial nation has social and economic criteria dissimilar to those of Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, a proposed single model of higher education would be appropriate, with an adjustment to suit the national resources, cultural background, and structure of trades and the labor force of that country.

Abstract:
As a culturally distinctive region, Asia was chosen as the sample for this study. This empirical study investigated what the major trends of democratisation were in Asia between 1981 and 2005: why some countries became democratic while other countries failed to follow suit during that period. The main research hypothesis was: “That is it was mainly economic development that drove democratisation in Asia between 1981 and 2005”. Although some studies have studied the impact of economic development on democratisation in Asia, their findings have been inconclusive and focuses sometimes different. [To investigate the research hypothesis, 24 Asian countries were selected…measurement tools used etc…] For this research work, statistical and case study methods were applied. The data used in the analyses were collected from established data sources e.g. Freedom House (Freedom in the World, n.d.) and United Nations Statistics Division (UN Stat, n.d.). Repeated Measures in Linear Mixed Modeling (LMM) were used to analyse the quantitative data. Three case studies supplemented the findings of statistical analyses. Historical information and institutional and legal facts were also used in the case studies. This study found that increases in the level of economic development along with its equitable distribution in society and positive roles of political actors increase the level of democratisation in Asia. Some pro-democratic political and social institutions, such as tradition of parliamentarianism, and international organisations, for example Bretton wood institutions, also led to democratisation. A low extent of national political divide was found to result in a considerably high level of democratisation in a country where confrontation between major political forces is the main feature of politics. This study also found that a partial democracy with Asian values, economic legitimacy, a lack of corruption and a “systematic control” over opposition politicians can survive, and is not prone to higher level of democratisation. The Taiwan case revealed that, amongst other factors, the role of political actors and economic equity along with economic development is also vital for democratisation. The Singapore case explained how a “hybrid regime” in a rich country outsmarts democratisation. The study of Bangladesh provides an idea about other elements, e.g. lower level of political confrontation, that push for higher levels of democratisation.

During the process of the Singapore economy development, its “elite government” has to attract the multinational companies to invest in Singapore. Among the public organization, Singapore Economic Development Board（EDB） is the statutory institute of marketing the Singapore investment environment. After set up in 1961, EDB has been engaged in creating employment opportunities. In order to improve the most valuable asset of Singaporean, EDB also designs several human resource training programs and training centers. The organization culture of EDB is the key success factor which contributes to following the changes of international economy situation and working out suitable economic policies for Singapore industry. In the past the government takes the responsibility of leading the Singaporean toward the economic vision, but recently the Singapore government aggressively encourages the people to start up a new enterprise instead to avoid depending foreign investments excessively and to balance the economic ecosystem to achieve more value-added. My thesis does a case study of hard disk drive industry in ch4 to show the notable position of EDB in industry development context. In the ch5 the emerging biomedical industry will discuss the transformation from national economic plans to technology entrepreneurship. The future of Singapore economy development depends on whether the policy works or not.

Abstract:
This study investigates how the structure and activities of states shape societies in different ways during processes of economic development. The analysis explores how the particular institutional configurations of developmental states in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore shaped trajectories of social change in ways which impacted processes of political change at later points in time. Using a path dependency approach, the study argues that a critical juncture took place in these three countries at various points in their early post-colonial periods, during which time state elites undertook a comprehensive program of reorganizing the state, society, and the organizational and institutional connections between the two, for the purpose of pursuing a strategy of rapid export-oriented industrialization. Differences in the way this critical juncture took place across these cases shaped important variations in institutional patterns of state-society relations. These differences, in turn, conditioned subsequent variation in the mode and type of political change in these countries.

Abstract Both Singapore and Taiwan are among the Asian Four Little Tigers. They have achieved great economic development in the past years. Especially Singapore has become a developed country in 1996. Although both nations have the same successful economic development, they have very different accomplishments in political change. The authority of the KMT regime got loose in the 1980’s and finally lost its ruling power in the presidential election in 2000. On the contrary, the PAP’s authoritarian governing style hasn’t encountered serious challenges during the process of Singapore’s economic development. Today the PAP still maintains its dominant status in Singapore. There are various theories about the relationship between economic development and political change. The modernization theory is the most representative one. Its major thesis is that economic development will trigger political democratization. Taiwan’s developmental experience is in accordance with the modernization theory. But obviously the relationship between economic development and political change of Singapore is not compatible with the modernization theory. Up to now, Singapore’s situation is more likely what the regime stability theory predicts, namely successful economic development will consolidate the existing ruling power. In my opinion, the modernization theory and the regime stability theory have the same defect that both of them simplify the relationship between economic development and political change unduly. And that’s why they are unable to explain fully the different experiences of Taiwan and Singapore. Apparently, there are some other factors between economic development and political change. According to the analysis and comparison of Taiwan and Singapore, this paper finds ethnic problem, national identity, and the autonomy and capacity of state to be among the major factors to cause the difference in political change betwen Taiwan and Singapore. It’s impossible to expound definitely about the discrepancy of the relationship between economic development and political change of Taiwan and Singapore without these factors.
