Korea and Taiwan have contrasting industrial orders: the Korean industrial order is concentrated and dominated by large, mass producing firms known as chaebol; Taiwan's industrial order is decentralized with a predominance of small- to medium-sized firms that cooperate their production through extensive subcontracting networks. Why such divergence between two countries that supposedly followed a similar trajectory of development?

520 $a Korea and Taiwan have contrasting industrial orders: the Korean industrial order is concentrated and dominated by large, mass producing firms known as chaebol; Taiwan's industrial order is decentralized with a predominance of small- to medium-sized firms that cooperate their production through extensive subcontracting networks. Why such divergence between two countries that supposedly followed a similar trajectory of development?
520 $a The dissertation reinterprets Korean and Taiwanese industrialization by discussing the different methods through which the two countries organize their industry and production. It integrates theoretical argument and historical interpretation in order to address gaps in the "conventional" explanations, represented by neoclassical and developmental state arguments. In their interpretation of industrialization, the conventional views have assumed that politics was simply a matter of resource allocation. This led us to believe that industrialization was a process of achieving efficiency; the state, a strategic policy-making agent; and Korea and Taiwan following a similar developmental trajectory.
520 $a The central contention of this dissertation is that 'politics of industrialization' must be seen as struggles throughout society to work out a systematic way of structuring social relations. From this broader perspective, the dissertation argues that industrialization and its paradigmatic outcomes, "industrial orders" were shaped by the ways in which political leaders dealt with their historically specific problems of legitimacy. The solution to political problems of legitimacy, in turn, led to two different paradigms of industrialization: Korea industrialized on the concept of "mass production," a 'rigid' system of high-volume production using standardized technologies; Taiwan industrialized on "cooperative specialization," a relatively 'flexible' system of producing a variety of goods to niche markets with inter-firm subcontracting networks.
520 $a To reaffirm the argument that politics was important, the dissertation incorporates a least likely case (the footwear industry), and fill the logical gap between the political framework and economic consequences. The case also demonstrates how different industrial orders were created, regulated, and reproduced; how producers organized work differently with comparable technologies; and how they responded to market fluctuations and protectionism (Orderly Marketing Agreements).
