Özet:

 A developmental state is both a theoretical construct and a description of the political economy of certain nations, primarily in East Asia, over a specified time period. Theoretically, a developmental state is a particular type of state with a high degree of autonomy and solid institutional competence, allowing it to undertake a series of effective state-interventionist policies in pursuit of developmental objectives. Statism and state autonomy underpin the conceptual framework of the developmental state. The developmental state defied the neoclassical orthodoxy in development economics. Despite lacking the attributes of the mainstream neoclassical consensus in development economics and facing an uphill battle from such institutions, developmental states in various regions of the world have achieved high levels of economic growth. This study seeks to investigate the developmental state trajectories of Mauritius in relation to vital elements of developmental states. In an effort to do so, this study poses the following question: What accounts for Mauritius development state success in Africa?. By looking at the link between institutional building and economic performance, the study finds that Mauritius has replicated key developmental state institutions, including embedded and autonomous bureaucracy, making it one of Africas most successful developmental states.

 Kalkınmacı Devlet, teorik bir zemin oluşturmasının yanı sıra başta Doğu Asya ülkeleri olmak üzere belirli ülkelerin belirli bir zaman içerisinde uluslararası politik ekonomisinin kavramsal tanımını ifade etmektedir. Teorik olarak kalkınmacı devlet, güçlü kurumsal kapasiteye sahip olmakla birlikte kalkınma hedefleri doğrultusunda etkili devlet politikalarının yürütülmesini ifade etmektedir. Devletçilik ve devlet özerkliği, kalkınmacı devletin kavramsal çerçevesinin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Kalkınmacı devlet, neoklasik ortodoks ekonomi anlayışına meydan okumaktadır. Neoklasik iktisat anlayışı ve söz konusu anlayış çerçevesinde oluşturulan kurumların baskılarına rağmen dünyanın çeşitli bölgelerinde yer alan kalkınmacı devletler hızlı ekonomik büyüme süreçlerine girmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada kurumsal yapı ve ekonomik gelişmeler arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyerek Morityusun Afrikadaki kalkınmacı devlet politikalarını yürütmedeki başarısının altında yatan nedenlerin neler olduğu sorusuna cevap aranmaktadır.Çalışma, kurumsal yapı ve ekonomik performans arasındaki bağlantıya dikkate alarak Morityosun yerleşik ve özerk bürokrasi de dahil olmak üzere önemli kalkınmacı devlet kurumlarını oluşturabildiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte kalkınmacı devlet anlayışının Morityosu Afrikadaki en başarılı kalkınma devletlerinden biri haline getirdiği görülmektedir.
