The theme of this – the third – issue of
Making It: Industry for Development
is industrial policy.In response to the global economic crisis, governmentsaround the world are desperate to jump-start economicgrowth. Following the bailouts of the banks and car makers,more recently most of the world’s biggest economies have been directing public money into attempts to boostmanufacturing.The era of the Washington Consensus is over. Even if –asmany of our contributors note –industrial policy never reallywent away, it is definitely now fully back on the agenda. In thewords of our keynote article author, Ha-Joon Chang,“Industrial policy is not a taboo any more”.The whole world must find the policies to meet thechallenge of climate change. Developing countries must try tomeet the expectations of their growing populations by building up their economies on the basis of green growth andclean energy. As one of our contributors argues, industrialpolicy has a key role to play in the world’s transition to aresource-efficient, low-carbon growth trajectory.In entitling this issue, “The policy choice”,
Making It
aims to highlight the notion that thereal question about industrial policy is not
whether
it should be practiced, but
how
.
