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
Economic history and development economics are both interested in the develop-
mentofeconomyfrompooragrariansocietytoemergingstatethroughagricultural
development and industrialization. While historical studies are concerned with the
long-term development of specific countries, regions, and the world, development
studies are mainly interested in the short-term development of low-income and
middle-incomeeconomiesacrosstheworld.Theformergenerallyadoptdescriptive
andinterpretativeapproachbecausedetailedstatisticaldatasuitableforeconometric
analyses are usually unavailable, whereas the latter often use econometric tech-
niques based on survey data which are available only for a short period of time in
certain locations. Yet, it is clear that the issues addressed by these two strands of
economics discipline are no different and that the two types of analyses are highly
complementary. Nonetheless, economic historians and development economists
have seldom collaborated in the past. This study is a unique attempt to synthesize
studies of economic histories and development economics.
Authors of this volume strongly believe that in order to grasp the evolutionary
process of economic development towards the emerging state, which is the main
themeoftheentireprojectleadingtofourvolumesincludingthisone,asynthesisof
historical and development studies is indispensable. Why did Meiji Japan succeed
in economic development through fairly rapid industrialization to become an
emerging state, while India and China followed different paths of economic
developmentandtooklongertoemergeaspowerfulemergingstates?Whatwasthe
role of agriculture in the development of prewar Japanese economy as well as
high-performing Asian countries in the postwar period? Why has sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA) largely failed in both agricultural development and industrialization
sofar?WhatarethelessonstobelearnedfromtheAsianexperiencesforthefuture
development path of SSA towards the emerging state? Considering that interna-
tionaltradewassurprisinglyactiveintheeconomichistoryofEast,Southeast,and
South Asia, it is highly relevant for this volume to inquire exactly how and why
local, regional, and long-distance trade played such crucial roles in the historical
developmentofAsianeconomies,whileitdidmuchlessintherecentdevelopment
of the economies of SSA. These are the questions that authors of this book

collectively address. Some chapters were written by economic historians while
others by development economists. All of them collaborated through repeated
workshops in the course of preparing this volume for the last 5 years. We believe
thatthequestionsraisedabovearepertinentforproperunderstandingoftheissueof
emerging economy and state.
