History
The traditional arguments for industrial policies go back as far as the 18th century. Prominent early arguments in favor of selective protection of industries were contained in the 1791 Report on the Subject of Manufactures{{sfn|Hamilton|1827}} of US economist and politician Alexander Hamilton, as well as the work of German economist Friedrich List.{{sfn|List|1909}} List’s views on free trade were in explicit contradiction to those of Adam Smith,{{sfn|List|1909|loc=Book III, weblink}} who, in The Wealth of Nations, said that “the most advantageous method in which a landed nation can raise up artificers, manufacturers, and merchants of its own is to grant the most perfect freedom of trade to the artificers, manufacturers, and merchants of all other nations.“{{sfn|Smith|1776|loc=Book IV, Chapter 9 weblink}}According to NYU historians Prince & Taylor, “The relationship between government and industry in the United States has never been a simple one, and the labels used in categorizing these relationships at different times are often misleading if not false. In the early nineteenth century, for example, it is quite clear that the laissez faire label is an inappropriate one.“{{sfn|Prince|Taylor|1982|p=283}}{{POV statement|date=March 2019}} In the US, an industrial policy was explicitly presented for the first time by the Jimmy Carter administration in August 1980, but it was subsequently dismantled with the election of Ronald Reagan the following year.{{sfn|Graham|1994|p=27}}Historically, there is a growing consensus that most developed countries, including United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and France, have intervened actively in their domestic economy through industrial policies.{{sfn|Chang|2002}} These early examples are followed by interventionist ISI strategies pursued in Latin American countries such as Brazil, Mexico or Argentina.{{sfn|Gereffi|Wyman|1990}} More recently, the rapid growth of East Asian economies, or the newly industrialized countries (NICs), has also been associated with active industrial policies that selectively promoted manufacturing and facilitated technology transfer and industrial upgrading.{{sfn|Wade|2003}} The success of these state-directed industrialization strategies are often attributed to developmental states and strong bureaucracies such as the Japanese MITI.{{sfn|Johnson|1982}} According to Princeton’s Atul Kohli, the reason Japanese colonies such as South Korea developed so rapidly and successfully was down to Japan exporting to its colonies the same centralised state development that it had used to develop itself.{{sfn|Kohli|2004}} Precisely speaking, South Korea’s development can be explained by the fact that it followed the similar industrial policies that UK, US and Germany implemented, and South Korea adopted Export-Oriented Industrialization (EOI) policy from 1964 based on its own decision contrary to the Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) policy touted by international aid organizations and experts at that time.Koh 2018, pp. 28â39. Many of these domestic policy choices, however, are now seen as detrimental to free trade and are hence limited by various international agreements such as WTO TRIMs or TRIPS. Instead, the recent focus for industrial policy has shifted towards the promotion of local business clusters and the integration into global value chains.{{sfn|Humphrey|Schmitz|2000}}During the Reagan administration, an economic development initiative called Project Socrates was initiated to address US decline in ability to compete in world markets. Project Socrates, directed by Michael Sekora, resulted in a computer-based competitive strategy system that was made available to private industry and all other public and private institutions that impact economic growth, competitiveness and trade policy. A key objective of Socrates was to utilize advanced technology to enable US private institutions and public agencies to cooperate in the development and execution of competitive strategies without violating existing laws or compromising the spirit of “free market”. President Reagan was satisfied that this objective was fulfilled in the Socrates system. Through the advances of innovation age technology, Socrates would provide “voluntary” but “systematic” coordination of resources across multiple “economic system” institutions including industry clusters, financial service organizations, university research facilities and government economic planning agencies. While the view of one US President and the Socrates team was that technology made it virtually possible for both to exist simultaneously, the industrial policy vs. free market debate continued as later under the George H. W. Bush administration, Socrates was labeled as industrial policy and de-funded.NEWS, Esther, Smith, DoD Unveils Competitive Tool: Project Socrates Offers Valuable Analysis, 5 May 1988, Washington Technology, NEWS, Markoff, John, 10 May 1990, Technology Official Quits At Pentagon,www.nytimes.com/1990/05/10/business/technology-official-quits-at-pentagon.html, The New York Times, 25 August 2012, Following the Financial Crisis of 2007â08, many countries around the world â including the US, UK, Australia, Japan and most countries of the European Union â have adopted industry policies. However contemporary industry policy generally accepts globalization as a given, and focuses less on the decline of older industries, and more on the growth of emergent industries. It often involves the government working collaboratively with industry to respond to challenges and opportunities.WEB, Wear, Andrew, Industry policy emerges from globalization resurgent and more important than ever,www.themandarin.com.au/74425-industry-policy-emerges-from-globalisation-resurgent/, The Mandarin, 26 January 2017, 2017-01-24, China is a prominent case where the central and subnational governments participate in nearly all economic sectors and processes. Even though market mechanisms have gained importance, state guidance through state-directed investment and indicative planning plays a substantial role in the economy. In order to catch-up and even overtake industrialized countries technologically, China’s “state activities even extend to efforts to prevent the dominance of foreign investors and technologies in areas considered to be of key significance such as the strategic industries and the new technologies“BOOK, Heilmann, Sebastian, 2017, China’s Political System, 240,www.merics.org/en/merics-analysis/chinas-political-system/, Rowman & Littlefield, 2017-04-26,www.merics.org/en/merics-analysis/chinas-political-system," title="web.archive.org/web/20170426042242www.merics.org/en/merics-analysis/chinas-political-system,">web.archive.org/web/20170426042242www.merics.org/en/merics-analysis/chinas-political-system, 2017-04-26, dead, including robotics and new energy vehicles.Criticism
{{POV section|date=May 2023|talk=POV}} Some criticize industrial policy based on the concept of government failure. Industrial policy is seen as harmful as governments lack the required information, capabilities, and incentives to successfully determine whether the benefits of promoting certain sectors above others exceeds the costs and in turn implement the policies.See for instance, regarding the medias industries: Violaine Hacker, « Citoyenneté culturelle et politique européenne des médias : entre compétitivité et promotion des valeurs », Nations, Cultures et Entreprises en Europe, sous la direction de Gilles Rouet, Collection Local et Global, L’Harmattan, Paris, pp. 163â84 While the East Asian Tigers provided successful examples of heterodox interventions and protectionist industrial policies,{{sfn|Amsden|1992}} industrial policies such as import-substitution-industrialization (ISI) have failed in many other regions such as Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Governments, in making decisions with regard to electoral or personal incentives, can be captured by vested interests, leading to industrial policies supporting local rent-seeking political elites while distorting the efficient allocation of resources by market forces.{{sfn|Pack|Saggi|2006}}Debates on process
Despite criticism, there is a consensus in recent development theory that says state interventions may be necessary when market failures occur.{{sfn|Rodrik|2009}} Market failures often exist in the form of externalities and natural monopolies. Some economists argue that public action can boost certain development factors “beyond what market forces on their own would generate.“{{sfn|Rodrik|2004|p=1. “Perhaps not surprisingly, this recognition is now particularly evident in those parts of the world where market-oriented reforms were taken the farthest and the disappointment about the outcomes is correspondingly the greatest â notably in Latin America” }} In practice, these interventions are often aimed at regulating networks, public infrastructure, R&D or correcting information asymmetries. Many countries are now seeing a revival of industrial policy.NEWS, Many countries are seeing a revival of industrial policy,amp.economist.com/special-report/2022/01/10/many-countries-are-seeing-a-revival-of-industrial-policy, The Economist, One question is which kinds of industrial policy are most effective in promoting economic development. For example, economists debate whether developing countries should focus on their comparative advantage by promoting mostly resource- and labor-intensive products and services, or invest in higher-productivity industries, which may only become competitive in the longer term.{{sfn|Lin|Chang|2009}} Debate also surrounds the issue of whether government failures are more pervasive and severe than market failures.{{sfn|Khan|2003}} Some argue that the lower the government accountability and capabilities, the higher the risk of political capture of industrial policies, which may be economically more harmful than existing market failures.{{sfn|Kaufmann|Krause|2009}}Of particular relevance for developing countries are the conditions under which industrial policies may also contribute to poverty reduction, such as a focus on specific industries or the promotion of linkages between larger companies and smaller local enterprises.{{sfn|Altenburg|2011}}See also
