Previous issue date: 2006-12-15 === This thesis analyses the Chinese catch-up process from an institutional-historical perspective.
It follows a gerschenkronian inspired approach and its purpose is to identify some of the
unique characteristics of this experience and the understanding of its importance for the
success of the catch-up.
The specific pattern of gradual political and economic transition and the acting profile of the
Chinese Communist Party in leading the process render a particular design to the Chinese
experience. They are subject to specific history and institutions and give rise to institutional
arrangements unprecedented in history. The huge dimensions of China, the diversity among
regions and the impossibility of controlling and coordinating all the economic actions,
together with other important elements which characterize the environment in which the
Chinese enterprises are inserted (including those which derive from a deliberate action by the
Party-State) create a fertile field for the accomplishment of experiments and the raising of
innovating and creative initiatives which are rapidly spread, giving place to the development
of complex industries with increasing levels of productivity and technological autonomy.
The thesis is comprised of three articles which are, to some extent, independent in themselves.
On the other hand, they are complementary to the effect that the subject of the two first ones
constitutes a conceptual reference to the approach of the third article. The first article deals
with the institutional-historical framework. The second one brings forth discussions and
contrasts regarding concepts of catch-up and convergence. The third article deals with the Chinese catch-up experience. === Esta tese analisa o processo de catch-up chin?s a partir de uma perspectiva hist?ricoinstitucionalista.
Seguindo uma abordagem de inspira??o gerschenkroniana, o objetivo ?
identificar algumas caracter?sticas ?nicas dessa experi?ncia e compreender sua import?ncia
para o sucesso do catch-up.
O padr?o espec?fico de transi??o pol?tica e econ?mica gradual e o perfil da atua??o do Partido
Comunista Chin?s na condu??o deste processo imprimem um desenho pr?prio ? experi?ncia
chinesa. S?o condicionados por uma hist?ria e por institui??es espec?ficas e d?o origem a
arranjos institucionais sem precedente hist?rico. A enorme dimens?o da China, a diversidade
entre regi?es e a impossibilidade de controlar e coordenar todas as a??es econ?micas, junto a
outros elementos importantes que caracterizam o ambiente em que as empresas chinesas est?o
inseridas (inclusive aqueles que decorrem da a??o deliberada do Estado-Partido) criam um
campo f?rtil para a realiza??o de experimenta??es e para o surgimento de iniciativas criativas
e inovadoras que s?o rapidamente difundidas, dando ensejo ao desenvolvimento de ind?strias
complexas e com n?veis crescentes de produtividade e de autonomia tecnol?gica.
A tese est? organizada em tr?s artigos que s?o, em parte, independentes entre si. Por outro
lado, s?o complementares, na medida em que os temas dos dois primeiros constituem
referencial anal?tico para a abordagem do terceiro. O primeiro artigo trata do marco conceitual
hist?rico-institucionalista. No segundo s?o discutidos e contrastados os conceitos de catch-up e de converg?ncia. O terceiro artigo examina a experi?ncia chinesa de catch-up.
