Study Of Economic Restructuring In The Act Of State

"BRICs" refer to four emerging market economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China which are also great powers undergoing economic transition. The main consideration of selecting these four countries as study object is that they are all "giant states" in some sense. Because the success story of small countries is often easily seen as an occasional occurrence, or a kind of local knowledge. Conversely, if a large country has been successful, then it is difficult to be regarded as chance or luck, but deemed to be that there must exist a deep necessity of logic. Therefore, the comparative study on them is a very important and significant issue.However, in recently years, under the direction of neo-liberalism doctrine, most scholars tend to magnify the function of market mechanism. As a result, voluminous researches on economic transition mainly circle around the so-called "economic behavior", and deliberately ignored the "state behavior" in the process of economic transition. Therefore, this reseach tries to review the course of BRICs'economic transition from the perspective of "neo-statism" which is popular in recent years. On the one hand, the author hopes to examine the logic of state behavior in the process of economic transition relying on this review. On the other hand, the author also hopes to expore the transition of state's character on the basis of this review.Therefore, this paper conducts a comprehensive analysis on the process of these four countries'economic transition under the guidance of the logic of state autonomy. This paper is divided into two parts:Firstly, to analyze the responce of the state, namely the state's adaptability on the face of economic difficulties and pressure both inside and outside. Secondly, to analyze the evolution of the state, namely the state's self-adjustment in the process of economic transition. Through the analysis from these two aspects, this paper argues that the state's response and evolution constitutes a continuous natural cycle. In the course of this cycle, the degree of the state's autonomy can be continuously strengthened. When the degree reaches a certain critical point, then this country can be called an"autonomous state."This paper differentiates "autonomous state" and "state autonomy" which are linked and different concepts. This paper argues that "state autonomy" is a concept oriented by the state's character, and "autonomous state" is a concept oriented by the state's function. This paper argues that the concept of "autonomous state" means that state should neither be seen as a tool for a particular class interests, nor should it be seen as a tool for a particular ideology. Instead, it's a universal state whose core concern is to achieve long-term interests of society as a whole.This paper argues that with persistent pushing forward of economic reform, the connotation of BRICs'autonomy has changed greatly——state has started to lead social and economic development with a co-operative attitude, and started to march toward the goal of "autonomous state".
