The corporatist foundations of state industrial policy

In: Social science quarterly, Band 71, Heft Mar 90

Abstract

Discusses new types of economic development policies, variously called 'demand side' policies, industrial policy, or interventionist policy, as well as the political and economic changes in states which led to their consideration. Outlines the business capture hypothesis and the meso-corporatist hypothesis. Shows that the meso-corporatist model provides a better account of industrial policy. (Abstract amended)
