Abstract
This chapter contains a discussion that is a product of the lack of a systematic treatment of the state by Latin American structuralism, and of the deformations to which the state was subsequently submitted to by neo-structuralism. At the same time, this discussion relates to a larger field of problems related to the limitations that World-Systems Theory, Structuralist Marxism, and the institutionalists have in order to reflect about the constitutive specificities of the peripheral statehood. Trying to overcome these limitations, this chapter analyzes the complexity of “external” (differentiated combination of geopolitics and geo-economics of the center with the periphery) and “internal” (specificities of the social civil societies and their conflicts) factors that act in the conformation of the structures and implicative forms of the peripheral states, offering a suggestive way to explain the differentiated development paths followed by Latin America and East Asia particularly since the second half of the twentieth century.

Notes
- 1.
Naturally, the civil societies and the states of the periphery, both within Latin American and EA, have their own specificities. Notwithstanding the recognition of the existence of particular trajectories and characteristics that are specific to each country, the argument developed through this chapter operates on a plane of generality that admits the consideration of certain characteristics common to Latin America and to EA to study the economic and political processes that took place within each of the regions, first during the postwar period, and subsequently under the advent of global capitalism.
- 2.
To see more about the concept of “geo-economics”, see Chap. 5.
- 3.
“Relative autarky” is understood as the achieved space of self-determination/autonomy that emerges in the periphery, in spatial forms and temporary variably, that allows the development of strategies of endogenous accumulation, driven by/from the state, within the conditioning framework of the hierarchic and uneven structure that the center/semi-periphery/periphery system place under the latter.

About the current limitations that face the Latin American state to direct an industrialization policy, as well as the current restrictions to promote an autonomous industrialization, see Chap. 7.
- 6.
The direction of a development strategy is a complex process that also includes the analysis of the multi-scale dimension of the state. In this regard, see Chap. 4.
