Globalisation has had a major impact on manufacturing competitiveness and industrial development in transitional and developing economies. This up-to-date book critically examines the experience of a wide range of countries, focusing on the policy challenges they face in the new global economy.

‘The book is very useful to the policymakers and researchers in the area of policy studies. The analytical presentation of policy in the context of development, with a parameter for inter-country comparison, makes it a very important book, especially in the present context of globalization and the associated structural changes taking place worldover.’
– N. Mrinalini, Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research

‘This book is a remarkable contribution to the debate on the worldwide crisis of structural adjustment.’
