Between Brexit, efforts to 'Make America great again' and ongoing
appeals for patriotic consumption to boost economies, the
intersection between national identity, marketing campaigns, and
consumer choices has been brought to the fore. This book maps out
this terrain and provides a framework for how research on 'Made in'
campaigns and programmes in individual countries can be placed into
a broader historical context. The book argues that the history of
'Made in' can be used to shed light on society at large: the actors
that have promoted it, the institutions that have regulated it, and
the cultural environments that have attributed it meaning. At times
'Made in' has been a basic, descriptive trademark while, in other
periods, it has been a key component of carefully developed
commercial brands, and in yet other instances it has been used in
attempts to forge and redefine national identities. The book opens
with an introduction to the three key factors which have featured
prominently in 'Made in' campaigns - commercial logic, national
economic policy, and it's use as an instrument in political
discourse - and an overview of the evolution of 'Made in' from a
marketing perspective. This is followed by country-specific
discussions of 'Made in' through case studies including countries
in Western Europe, US, Japan and the antipodes. This book will be
of significant interest to students and scholars of economic
history, business history and marketing.
