THE ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS HAS RE-OPENED THE DEBATE ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN THE REGION'S INDUSTRIALIZATION. JUST WHEN THERE SEEMED TO BE GROWING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ACROSS THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DISCIPLINES THAT CERTAIN KINDS OF STATE INVOLVEMENT WERE VITAL TO THE RAPID UPGRADING OF THE NORTHEAST ASIAN ECONOMIES, AND THAT UNDERSTANDING WHAT MADE STATES EFFECTIVE OR INEFFECTIVE WAS A CRUCIAL ISSUE, ALONG CAME THE FINANCIAL HURRICANE. PROFOUND DISARRAY OF AN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL NATURE HAS BEEN THE MOST IMMEDIATE AND IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCE OF THIS EVENT. THEORETICAL DISARRAY HAS FOLLOWED CLOSELY IN ITS PATH. THIS ARTICLE SEEKS TO INJECT SOME THEORETICAL RIGOR INTO THE DISCUSSION OF THE ASIAN CRISIS. STATE POWER IN THE ASIAN SETTING - WHETHER AND IN WHAT WAY THE STATE'S TRANSFORMATIVE CAPACITY IS WEAK OR ROBUST - AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE IMPACT OF INTERNATIONAL MARKETS IS CENTRAL TO THE ARGUMENT THAT FOLLOWS.

Abstract
This article suggests that aerial networks can be usefully conceptualized as broad "aerial social spaces" that can (and often do) extend, produce, and reproduce state power. They are not easily created: their creation and maintenance require large resources both on land and in the air. The same aerial network can be embodied in multiple aerial social spaces that produce and reproduce state power in different ways. This article highlights two such pathways: the first through cultural and the second through logistical impact. In support it presents two case studies based on the expansion of civil aviation in the developing world in the 1940s and 1950s: the International Civil Aviation Authority's interventions in the Middle East and US involvement in Saudi Arabian aviation.
