Elsewhere, Martin and Thelen (2007) argued for the importance of state action in understanding different trajectories of change in coordinated market economies. 19 It should be noted that Hancke et al. also argued that the introduction of the state as a variable merely differentiates a ‘mode of coordination’ rather than a ‘model of capitalism’. As such, they considered cases where the state has close direct influence over the economy as ‘transitional’. This echoes the argument of Hall and Soskice, as noted earlier, in which the state acts as a facilitator of activity rather than a more active participant of market coordination.

This was one of the main criticisms made during the Asian financial crisis in 1997–8 where many attributed the failings of the East Asian financial systems to undue government intervention which could be mitigated by, among other measures, a change from bank-based to market-based financial systems.
