After years of official disrepute, industrial policy (IP) is back
in vogue at regional, national and international levels driven by
concerns over competitiveness, globalisation, de-industrialisation,
unemployment and the comparatively slow growth of the EU economy
especially in this post-recession phase. At the same time, IP has
been seen as a catalyst for designing economic recovery strategies
at regional, national and international levels, as well as being a
concerted strategy to develop new 'clean-tech' industries to tackle
environmental challenges. If anything, the recent global recession
and credit crunch have highlighted the fragility of some states'
and localities' economic development paths and the unbalanced
nature of their economies, in terms of an over-reliance on sectors
such as retail, financial services, and construction, to the
detriment of manufacturing. This also suggests an accompanying need
for greater economic diversity so as to avoid over-dependencies on
certain sectors, and a better balance of ownerships forms. But what
should be the shape of IP in the wake of the crisis and how can IP
rebalance economies, help support sustainable development and
catalyse new technologies and innovations whilst learning lessons
from past experience and debate? This edited volume examines these
questions through a wide range of diverse contributions from expert
international authors. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Policy Studies.
