Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ndustrialization and Political Affinity looks at the issue of political affinity as a way of explaining industrial policies in Newly Industrializing Countries (NIC's). Focusing on Brazil as one of the most technologically and economically advanced of the NIC's, Roy C. Nelson explores how policy affinity can help or hinder industrial policies that promote the development of indigenous technological capabilities. Nelson discusses the ways in which democratization affects the process by which NICs make and implement effective policies for development. Industrialization and Political Affinity concludes with observations on potential models for industrial development that would be appropriate for these countries. The discussion calls into question the prevailing emphasis in democratization literature on continued top-down modes of government in post-transition regimes.

Download or read book Economic Liberalization and Industrial Performance in Brazil written by Edmund Amann and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-08-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past ten years the Brazilian economy has experience an unprecedented wave of market liberalization as import substitution has been progressively abandoned in favour of integration into the global economy. Trade barriers have fallen, privatizations have been implemented, and government procurement has been cut back. Although these policy shifts will be familiar to many, their implications in terms of performance may not. Using a comprehensive array of primary and secondary sources and in-depth company case studies, this book examines how one vitally important Brazilian industrial sector-the non-serial capital goods sector-coped with the onset of liberalization. While liberalization undoubtedly helped to promote greater efficiency in some areas of corporate performance, the impact elsewhere was far less favourable. This differentiated response raises some interesting and troubling theoretical and policy issues.
Download or read book Politics within the State written by Ben Ross Schneider and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil was one of the most successful examples of state-led industrialization in the post-1945 era. Yet, on the surface, the Brazilian bureaucracy appears highly fragmented, personalized, and ad-hoc. Ben Ross Schneider looks behind this fa ade to explain how the Brazilian bureaucracy contributes to industrialization by analyzing career patterns and appointments which structure incentives and power more than formal organizations or institutions. Politics and personalism, of the right sort, Schneider argues, can in fact enhance policy effectiveness and state capacity.
Download or read book Shifting States in Global Markets written by Alfred P. Montero and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting States in Global Markets contributes to the debates over the political economy of globalization by focusing attention on the increasingly important role of subnational governments in implementing economic policies. Challenging the view that the effects of decentralization are positive or negative uniformly and can be explained by reference to the influence of national political institutions, Alfred Montero uses his comparisons of industrial policy in Brazil and Spain, and between different regions in these countries, to argue that we need to pay attention to political conditions at the subnational level to account for the variation in economic success between regions. Two crucial conditions are emphasized in Montero's analysis: how much competition there is among political elites within any region, and how much competition there is between regions for scarce fiscal resources. Lower competition among elites leads to subnational governments delegating more autonomy to public agencies to develop ties with private businesses favoring allocative efficiency and innovation; higher competition between regions provides incentives for political leaders to support involvement in economic development efforts by a greater variety of public agencies, whose cooperation and mutual trust over time create the conditions for long-term success in these efforts. This analysis gives us a much more nuanced understanding of how countries are experiencing the challenges of globalization today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial policy has long been regarded as a strategy to encourage sector-, industry-, or economy-wide development by the state. It has been central to competitiveness, catching up, and structural change in both advanced and developing countries. It has also been one of the most contested perspectives, reflecting ideologically inflected debates and shifts in prevailing ideas. There has lately been a renewed interest in industrial policy in academic circles and international policy dialogues, prompted by the weak outcomes of policies pursued by many developing countries under the direction of the Washington Consensus (and its descendants), the slow economic recovery of many advanced economies after the 2008 global financial crisis, and mounting anxieties about the national consequences of globalization. The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Policy presents a comprehensive review of and a novel approach to the conceptual and theoretical foundations of industrial policy. The Handbook also presents analytical perspectives on how industrial policy connects to broader issues of development strategy, macro-economic policies, infrastructure development, human capital, and political economy. By combining historical and theoretical perspectives, and integrating conceptual issues with empirical evidence drawn from advanced, emerging, and developing countries, The Handbook offers valuable lessons and policy insights to policymakers, practitioners and researchers on developing productive transformation, technological capabilities, and international competitiveness. It addresses pressing issues including climate change, the gendered dimensions of industrial policy, global governance, and technical change. Written by leading international thinkers on the subject, the volume pulls together different perspectives and schools of thought from neo-classical to structuralist development economists to discuss and highlight the adaptation of industrial policy in an ever-changing socio-economic and political landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the established, neoclassical view of industrial success in developing countries. By re-examining the role of government intervention in the industrialization of Brazil and South Korea, it seeks to show that the key to industrial success does not lie in a simple combination of outward-orientation and laissez-faire, but in the government's success in remedying crucial market failures in the product and factor markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the emerging political economies of industrial policies undertaken at the subnational level in Brazilian cities since the mid-1990s, which became targets of economic development initiatives by the Federal government in the early 2000s. Contrary to the statist industrial policies of the post-World War II era, this new generation of industrial policies are implemented through collaborative relationships between private sector actors organized in governance networks made up of trade associations, labor unions, non-governmental organizations, and a constellation of public sector actors from all levels of government. Analyzing fourteen clusters in distinct industries in Brazil, this dissertation investigates these governance networks, and argues that their structure plays an important role in the implementation of subnational industrial policies. Specifically, I analyze the ways in which the motivation for forming such governance networks among entrepreneurs, local and state governments, and other actors lead to policies designed to generate developmental spillovers, or whether they are narrowly targeted towards a small segment of firms. Although the analysis focuses on regions within the peculiar case of Brazil, it draws insights from regions exhibiting a broad range of socioeconomic conditions, whose economies are driven by several different types of industries, and in which local and state governments vary widely in their capacity to implement their policy agenda. In this regard, the analysis provides insights to debates on economic development in other contexts; particularly middle-income countries where cluster-based policies have become fashionable in recent decades.
