“…As a result financial capital and interest rates favour mostly the latter sectors, and investments in productive activities remain limited in scale and scope. Finally, given the lack of medium size companies, the few big industrialists are able to squeeze their local supply chains which remain disarticulated and uncapable to reach efficient scale (Andreoni, 2019) However, all of this does not mean that a country is bound by its history or lack of an industrialist class. New political coalitions can be built and policies changed.…”

Industrial policy is back in the mainstream debates. The paper provides a long-term analytical perspective of the industrial policy debate, and it critically assesses the current mainstream phase of the debate in light of three fundamental theoretical insights that developed along several decades of industrial policy theory and practice. These are related to the (i) structural interdependencies, tensions and dualism arising in the industrialisation process; (ii) variety and types of institutions for industrialisation and the importance of policy alignment; (iii) conflict management role of the government, alongside his entrepreneurial function, and the importance of government organisational capabilities. Building on this theoretical analysis, the last section of the paper provides a framework for the strategic coordination of packages of interactive industrial policy measures. The Policy Package Matrix is introduced as an operationalisation of the framework and a tool for effective industrial policy making.

“…Furthermore, emphasis of the GVC framework on vertical linkages along the value chain is a major weakness of the GVC approach. This approach misses the important role of horizontal linkages among different firms at each node of the value chain, which possibly cut across multiple sectoral value chains (Andreoni 2018). This is true of the oilseed-to-edible oils value chain in Zimbabwe, which has important linkages to other sectors of the economy such as animal feed industries.…”

“…2 The possibility for firms in a certain location to develop a competitive advantage in a certain task/stage, and thus to capture a 'high-value niche', will depend on complementary sets of different capabilities whose development might require involvement in more than one stage of the same (or other) value chains. In successful industrial ecosystems, like the Boston route (Best, 1990(Best, , 2013 and the Emilia Romagna region (Andreoni, 2018a(Andreoni, , 2018bAndreoni et al, 2017), these complementary capabilities have developed along different cycles of industrial transformation and the renewal of vertically integrated firms, backed up by a dense network of local specialised suppliers and contractors. A second problem in the GVC approach is that it has increasingly become a-sectoral, that is, it has led to the undermining of a number of specificities of industrial sectors (or groups of industrial sectors).…”

Premature deindustrialisation is a threat to low-and middle-income countries, as it shrinks their opportunities for technological development, and their capacity to add value in global value chains and tradable sectors, thereby ultimately reducing their scope for productivity increases. This paper investigates the specific industrialisation challenges faced by middleincome countries today and provides global and regional evidence for the different premature deindustrialisation trajectories that countries have followed, with a specific focus on South Africa. Against this background, the paper develops an industrial policy framework highlighting three main aspects, namely (i) the importance of selecting appropriate instruments targeting specific production, technological and organisational challenges; (ii) the need for coordinating these instruments in coherent industrial policy packages; and, finally, (iii) the governance challenges that middle-income countries will face in managing these policy instruments. The challenges in implementing and governing complex industrial policy packages are highlighted by reviewing successful sectoral interventions in Brazil, China and Malaysia. Country and sectoral cases are finally used to extract a number of industrial policy implications for South Africa.
