{"product_id":"economics-of-industrial-development","title":"Economics of Industrial Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe spread of the manufacturing industry is an important part of economic development, creating jobs, new products and trade and investment links between countries. Understanding this process is an important part of understanding how countries develop and how they are affected by current globalization. The economic geography of the world has been changing significantly in the last few decades with old established industrial centres in the developed countries in decline, and new centres emerging in countries that were once thought of as poor and still developing. However, this process has been very uneven with some parts of the developing world still largely non-industrial. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book aims to explain this process from the perspective of developing countries. It charts current trends in industrial development drawing on available statistics and explores different perspectives on the role the manufacturing industry can play. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers topics including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003easpects of trade policy as they affect industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe international rules of the World Trade Organisation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe network of links between firms in different parts of the world economy. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparate chapters examine:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe special role of small firms and of technology in industrialisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egovernment policy towards the encouragement of industry, drawing particularly on the experience of economies in East Asia (the original Asian Tigers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erecent developments in China and India and their implications for other countries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book draws on simple concepts of economic theory but avoids a technical mathematical approach and should be accessible to a wide audience.

The book is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate level courses, but will also be invaluable to professionals working in development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233858572632,"sku":"9780415473729","price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415473729.jpg?v=1777241721","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/economics-of-industrial-development","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
