Riassunto
This book explores developmental policymaking across the multiple levels of Mexico’s contemporary state, arguing that much of the innovations in industrial policy have been driven at the subnational level.
Testo aggiuntivo
"This book makes a useful contribution to the emerging literature on the role of regions and cities in economic development. Based on a comparative analysis of Nuevo León and Querétaro, Tijerina demonstrates that even in a neoliberal country like Mexico, there is plenty of room to implement industrial policy. Everyone interested in promoting more dynamic economies should pay close attention to his contribution." — Diego Sánchez-Ancochea, Professor of the Political Economy of Development, University of Oxford, UK"Tijerina punctuates the prevailing image of the 'developmental state' as a monolithic entity, firmly establishing the importance of local actors and policy experiments in shaping sub-national variation in Mexico's industrial development. The work makes a valuable contribution to debates within Political Science and International Political Economy over the institutional foundations of economic transformation. Given the upsurge of interest in alternatives to neoliberalism, this contribution is a particularly timely one." — Liam Clegg, Senior Lecturer, Department of Politics, University of York, UK"Industrial Development in Mexico is an articulate and astute application of the New Developmentalist Theory. Tijerina reimagines the role of the State as chief orchestrator of economic affairs, and offers demonstrable evidence as to why subnational actors have earned their place in the new industrial policy framework. By reorganizing the perspective, and choosing to highlight public/private cooperation at the subnational level, Tijerina propels the Latin American development discussion into the modern era and offers encouragement for developing states around the globe where central government has failed to achieve cohesion." — Roberto Domínguez, Ph.
