The war‐making state and privatisation
研究前中央计划经济国家（俄罗斯、中国、越南、乌克兰）在向市场经济转型中，因国家原本服务于军事目标而抵制改革，导致私有化停滞或形成寻租型国家的现象。
States, created with the central purpose of defending national independence, resist the process of macro‐economic reform since it appears to limit their power to pursue this aim. The states of the former Centrally Planned Economies were marked out by their extreme subordination to the military drive, so the resistance to reshaping the ‘war‐making state’ into a ‘market‐facilitating state’ is considerable. The transition tends to be halted where the old structures of central control are ended without markets supplying alternative imperatives — a ‘rent‐seeking state’ is created. These themes are examined in relationship to privatisation of state owned enterprises in four countries: Russia, China, Vietnam and the Ukraine.
