Overview

This volume looks at the issue of political affinity as a way of explaining industrial policies in Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs). Focusing on Brazil as one of the most technologically and economically advanced of the NICs, Roy Nelson looks at how political affinity can help - or hinder - industrial policies to promote the development of indigenous technological capabilities within NICs. He looks at the ways in which democratization can affect the abilities of these countries to make and implement effective policies for development. The book concludes with some observations on what kind of models for industrial development might be most appropriate in light of the issues raised.

    A reviewer

    Based on firsthand field research and numerous interviews with principals, this volume explains Brazil's industrial policy during the democratic transition period, particularly with regard to the computer and pharmaceutical industries. The chapter on the computer industry is probably one of the best accounts of policy in this sector during this period. The book develops the larger argument that different industries have different political characteristics - and this can account for industrial policy.
