This is the first series to highlight research into the processes and impacts of the
state building and economic development of developing countries in the
non-Western World that have recently come to influence global economy and
governance. It offers a broad and interactive forum for discussions about the
challengesofthesecountries andtheresponses ofother countriestotheirrise.The
term‘emerging-economystate,’apartoftheseriestitle,oritsshorthand‘emerging
states,’ is intended to promote dialogues between economists who have discussed
policy problems faced by ‘emerging-market economies’ and scholars in political
science and international relations who have discussed ‘modern state formation.’
Many emerging states are still in the middle-income status and not immune from
the risk of falling into the middle-income trap. The manner of their external
engagement is different from that of the high-income countries. Their rise has
increased the uncertainty surrounding the world. To reduce the uncertainty, good
understanding of their purpose of politics and state capacity as well as their
economies and societies would be required. Although the emerging states are far
from homogenous, viewing them as a type of countries would force us into
understand better the similarity and differences among the emerging states and
those between them and the high-income countries, which would in turn to help
countries to ensure peace and prosperity. The series welcomes policy studies of
empirical, historical, or theoretical nature from a micro, macro, or global point of
view. It accepts, but does not call for, interdisciplinary studies. Instead, it aims to
promote transdisciplinary dialogues among a variety of disciplines, including but
notlimited toarea studies, economics, history, international relations,andpolitical
science.Relevanttopicsincludeemergingstates’economicpolicies,socialpolicies,
andpolitics,theirexternalengagement,ensuingpolicyreactionsofothercountries,

emerging states andother countries to achievethe SustainableDevelopmentGoals
(SDGs). The series welcomes both monographs and edited volumes that are
accessible to academics and interested general readers.

Preface
This volume of essays is part of a series presenting the outcomes of a five-year
research project examining the birth, development, and future of the
emerging-market states. The project team, consisting of six research groups
bringingtogethermorethanfiftyresearchersspecializedineconomics,history,and
political science, was led by Dr. Tetsushi Sonobe, Vice President of the National
Graduate Institute for Policy Studies. Upon completion of the project, the groups
decided to join forces in the publication of the project’s research outcomes in a
four-volume collection of essays. This book, the fourth volume, explores the
economic, political, and social difficulties faced by emerging-market states in the
course of their rapid economic development—difficulties they will need to over-
come if they are to attain a higher level of development without seriously jeopar-
dizing their internal and external stability.
