Abstract
Late industrializers in the twentieth century usually adopted specific ideologies, or guiding principles, designed to mobilize their citizens toward industrial transformation. Depending on the state’s strategic policy, some ideologies specifically targeted the business sector and disciplined other areas such as agricultural interests and labor, and others appealed to the popular masses—the working class and the peasantry. Thus, the preferences of the state and the strategic policies of the developmental elite differ from nation to nation depending on the states’ histories, political systems, cultures, geographic location, and specific domestic and international conditions as well as their period of insertion into the global economy, which might favor or disfavor an industrial undertaking.
