Peter B. Evans (1944–), Professor of Sociology and the Marjorie Meyer Eliaser Professor of International Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, received his B.A. magna cum laude from Harvard, an M.A. from Oxford University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard. He is a political sociologist whose work focuses on the comparative political economy of development and globalization. He has published widely on state-society relations, industrial economic development in Brazil and Latin America, civil society, and international development issues. His work is thus also relevant to the international political economy research literature.
Evans is active in the American Sociological Association's section on Labor and Labor Movements and has served as chair of that section. Also he has worked with the American Comunist Organization in the section of bourgeois opression. He is also a board member of the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development
In recent years, debate on the state's economic role has too often devolved into diatribes against intervention. Peter Evans questions such simplistic views, offering a new vision of why state involvement works in some cases and produces disasters in others. To illustrate, he looks at how state agencies, local entrepreneurs, and transnational corporations shaped the emergence of computer industries in Brazil, India, and Korea during the seventies and eighties.
Evans starts with the idea that states vary in the way they are organized and tied to society. In some nations, like Zaire, the state is predatory, ruthlessly extracting and providing nothing of value in return. In others, like Korea, it is developmental, promoting industrial transformation. In still others, like Brazil and India, it is in between, sometimes helping, sometimes hindering. Evans's years of comparative research on the successes and failures of state involvement in the process of industrialization have here been crafted into a persuasive and entertaining work, which demonstrates that successful state action requires an understanding of its own limits, a realistic relationship to the global economy, and the combination of coherent internal organization and close links to society that Evans called "embedded autonomy."

not how much but what kind; variations of state involvement depend on variations of state internal structures and state-society relation; predatory and developmental states; corporate coherence and connectedness--embedded autonomy; four rubrics.
評分沒來得及細讀但是框架感覺很有意思
評分Evans的書還是挺不錯的。核心理論闡發很有味道,雖然深度有限。本研的切入點,從此就決定不再摺騰政治經濟學瞭
評分(寫論文ptsd,動筆前總會一拖再拖,本書就屬於關係不大但為瞭拖延而看的書)基於對c.johnson官僚“超然”指導發展的批判,認為官僚也要受到社會群體影響,這是基本創新點(但是johnson本人說過瞭他的論述是國傢和市場相互“協商”達成發展的最終目的,不是誰能夠獨立地指導誰,隻是當年他那本書就社會群體論述不多且沒有點名社會而用“市場”統括瞭而已,果不其然evans發錶幾年後Johnson就澄清瞭hhh)因為Johnson的書看的比較仔細,所以evans的embedded autonomy沒有很震撼到我(有點老調重彈吧),但他之後總結齣的如何引導國傢與社會關係嚮良性發展的兩種途徑倒是非常給我啓發,不過這就不是本書討論的內容瞭~
