A Study On Generality And Diversity Of Industrialization

Generality of industrialization means there is an essential law that overrules industrialization,which brings about some common phenomenon in different countries' industrialization.Diversify of industrialization means different country's industry structure evolutes in different way.This thesis would both explain these two basic characteristics of industrialization:The first part would give a division of labor model to interpret generality of industrialization;the second part would modify the suppositions in the first part and build a new model to illustration diversify on the basis of path-dependent theory;the third part will analyze how the generality law display its function on Chinese industrialization and at the same time,in what way Chinese industrialization show its particular characteristic according to its resource, its history and its tradition,etc.The conclusions of this thesis are the fallowing as:Industrialization in its essence is a path-dependent process of labor division evolution.Firstly,industrial structure comes into being and develops corresponding to labor division evolution and all the countries would obey this generality law,and as a result share common phenomenon during their industrialization.This means deeply understanding labor division is crucial to clearly explain how an industrial structure evolves in the history,right now and in future.Secondly,industrialization is a path-dependent process which means different initial natural resource and uncertainty of the people's choice will affect its evolution from the start to the end,which would finally leads to diversity of industrialization.Thirdly,path-dependent force may lead industrialization into a vicious circle road as it may lead industrialization into a good one.For a country,to get into a good circle road needs a right system which comprises a series of actors,including society conscious,technology,regulations, polices,etc and which,as a whole organic one,does good to labor division evolution. And what's more,for a country,it is also important to take advantage of its resources and traditions to make its only successful industrialization pattern.Fourthly,all the successful industrialization patterns show that free market is the crucial system to ensure a good industrialization.And then a right constitution to balance the government power and so to reduce the state(nation) opportunism is vital to build a free market.Under the dual angle of view of generality and diversity,the most important thing for China is to carry on a government reform and to mature its poor efficient market;and on the other hand,it is also very important to consider a new industrialization pattern which suits to globalization,environmental protection and which just suits to Chinese feature.
