The Routledge Handbook of Industry and Development is a global
overview of industrialisation. Each chapter will provide readers
with contemporary insights into this this essential aspect of
economic development. Industrialisation has been at the forefront
of discussion on economic development since the earliest days of
development economics. But over the last fifty years, the
manufacturing sectors of different countries and regions have grown
at strikingly different rates. In 1960 developing countries took a
very small share of global manufacturing production. Today the
position had changed radically with fast growth of manufacturing in
many parts of what was originally the developing world,
particularly in China and the rest of East Asia. On the other hand,
countries in Africa and parts of Latin America have been largely
left behind by this process of industrialisation. This volume aims
to illuminate this uneven development and takes stock of the
current issues that hinder and support industrialisation in low and
middle income economies. This Handbook is a collection of chapters
on different aspects of industrialisation experience in a range of
countries. Key themes include, the role of manufacturing in growth,
the nature of structural change at different stages of development,
the role of manufacturing in employment creation, alternative
options for trade and industrial policy, the key role of technology
and technical change, and the impact of globalisation and the
spread of global value chains and foreign direct investment on
prospects for industrialisation. Several chapters discuss
individual country experiences with examples from India, Mexico,
South Africa and Tanzania, as well as an overview of African
industrialisation. This authoritative Handbook will be a key
reference source for those studying or wishing to understand
contemporary economic development. Offering inspiration and
direction for future research, this landmark volume will be of
crucial importance to all development economics scholars and
researchers.
