Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The question of the nation-state and its power in the face of the globalization of capital, goods and people has been a central debate in the sociology of globalization and development. Notably, debates in the globalization literature about the power of the nation-state have very little to say about "peripheral", "developing" or "underdeveloped" states despite its centrality to earlier theorization in the sociology of development. In this paper I discuss how the Philippine state constructs its "comparative advantage" as a source of migrant labor. I argue that the Philippine state's labor brokering constitutes a kind of "experimental" developmental strategy which other developing states are increasingly engaging in as either the central, or part of a mix of, development strategies. Evidence of labor brokering supports the argument that "the national state still plays a critical role in shaping markets by mediating these connections between the local and the global and by influencing how local specific assets are mobilized within the range of opportunities in the global economy"(ORiain 2000)and draws the developing state out of the analytical margins to a more central role in globalization studies.
