KOHLI, Atul. Coping with globalization: Asian versus Latin American strategies of development, 1980-2010. Rev. Econ. Polit. [online]. 2012, vol.32, n.4, pp.531-556. ISSN 0101-3157.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-31572012000400001.

When compared to Latin America, Asian economies since 1980 have grown faster and have done so with relatively modest inequalities. Why? A comparison of Asia and Latin America underlines the superiority of the nationalist capitalist model of development, which has often been pursued more explicitly in Asia, over that of a dependent capitalist model, which has often been pursued in Latin America. In comparison to Latin America, the Asian model has facilitated higher and less volatile rates of economic growth and a greater political room to pursue social democratic policies. The "tap root" of these alternate pathways is relative autonomy from global constraints: states and economies in Asia have been more nationalist and autonomous than in Latin America.
