State Power and Patterns of Late Development: A Comment on Zhao and HallResponding to claims that there is a crisis in the sociology of development rooted in inadequate explanations of the connections between economic change and political institutions, Zhao and Hall propose a state-centred approach in understanding successful late development in the Third World. Here it is argued that there are some difficulties associated with their use of the concept of `bounded autonomy'. Further, some alternative insights are suggested about conceptualising the `politics' of economic transformation in the Third World.
Key Words: state autonomy late development dependency state power
