Abstract

This paper primarily seeks to address a description of a form of the development
experience that its key feature is the central role of the state with high institutional
prospect and capacity to orient the country toward development.
Meanwhile, the main focus is based on the successful experience of
developmental government which was formed after the Second World War in East
Asia. However, the economic crisis of 1997 led to the serious doubts about the
success. So that some spoke of the death of developmental states. Especially, this
crisis is analyzed in relation to the globalization and structural change resulting from
it. In this paper based on an analysis of the nature of globalization, It has been
argued that not only the possibility of the emergence of developmental states have
not gone away but also provide new area’s for states role in development . But it is
natural that the "Third generation of Developmental States" must make fundamental
changes in their characteristics and their policies.
