Research on Evolution of Export Processing Zone in Taiwan--The State-centric Approach

Abstract
After devastating destruction of two World Wars, how to re-develop economy was the most important issue in the world between 1950¡¦s and 1970¡¦s. As a result, theories of national development arose in the same time.
¡§The state-centric approach¡¨ arose in 1980¡¦s to explore the relationship between market function and the state after viewing the outstanding economic performance of East Asian countries. Researchers of ¡§the state-centric approach¡¨ claimed that the state autonomy and capacity are key elements to country¡¦s development.
After World War II, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea were common in: 1. Authoritarian states with high autonomy and capacity; 2. Received American aid to undertake political, economic reform and import substitute policy; 3. Land reform resulted in fair distribution.
The economic development of Taiwan in the past fifty years was rapid, constant, steady, and fair distribution, which is one of the successful models of East Asian. The state was the key factor of Taiwan¡¦s economic success. The establishment of Export Processing Zone was a proof of how the state induced development.
The growth of Export Processing Zone equals to the development in Taiwan. This research is focused on the Export Processing Zone, discussing how the autonomy and capacity of state affected the development in Taiwan as well as in Export Processing Zone. The author also tried to find out what and how the state should do n the next step to create another new phase of development for Taiwan.
