Summary:pt. 1. Industrial policy in a global perspective -- pt. 2. Competition and regulatory issues -- pt. 3. Research, technology and innovation -- pt. 4. Territory, industrial development and small firms -- pt. 5. The use of game theory in industrial policy analysis -- pt. 6. Particular views
This timely and much-needed Handbook reconsiders an old topic from a fresh perspective, raising a number of new, interesting and worthwhile issues in the wake of ten years of globalization. This comprehensive analysis illustrates that old-style industrial policies whereby the government directly intervened in markets, and was often the producer itself, are no longer relevant. Structural changes occurring in economies--summarized in the term "globalization"--are triggering the definition and implementation of new industrial policies. The contributors, leading experts in their field, unite to evaluate this shift of over a decade ago
