Abstract

Acting on a belief that they had a mission to manage and speed up the process of economic development, nation states in the 1950s grew bigger in size in order to make larger investment commitments. In India, the increased state capacity was employed to achieve industrialization with an accent on capital goods production by the state. In the other countries of the mainland, industrialization was a shared goal and the states grew in size partly to meet this aim, but significant differences still emerged in the means and effects of the state-led development process.
