Concepts: The Developmental State

Johnson presents some positive aspects of the developmental state model of (soft or hard) authoritarianism that are morally troubling because they are appealing in so many ways. It is hard to oppose growth that has solved so many problems that plague developing nations: growth with redistribution is more or less achieved; in Japan, the standard of living has considerably improved; success has brought legitimacy to controlling bureaucracies; and most importantly in view of the current destabilizing influence of financial markets, there are important political benefits to be gained from the ability to maintain long-term goals by not relying heavily on shareholders and stockmarket analysts for success. In the developmental states, the profit-motive does not undermine long-term goals for the public good as it so often does in the West.

In relation to List's theory of the integral importance of a sense of cultural unity, it is interesting that Japanese proclamations about cultural purity and superiority are presented by Hein to be a means of deflecting popular attention from issues of political freedom and domestic divisions. Regardless of its origin, such nationalist sentiment seems to contribute to the legitimacy of rulers, while the looming presence of an enemy - the American hegemon - seems significant in the Japanese case (and likely the Korean one too). Instead of List's protectionist policies, Johnson states that "a united people for economic goals" is an important element of the developmental model for the alternative reason that it transfers authority to a governin
