The New European Industrial Policy

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"I think the book by Franco Mosconi can contribute to raise the awareness of the urgency of such line of policy. It gathers all the most important documents and position papers by the EU and other sources dealing with the issue; it offers a relevant statistical background in support of the arguments developed and, above all, it makes a good reading, clear and complete, for anyone who needs or wants to be acquainted with the matter."

"The New European Industrial Policy is a readily accessible, clear and compelling argument about the connections between EU policy, state responses, and the manufacturing industries. As Franco Mosconi explains, governmental support and policies (both at EU- and state-level) matter in shaping the productive capacities of states. In particular, the book provides an excellent explanation for the rise of European Champions in the Single Market, as well as for the resilience of SMEs."

Hiroshi Nakazato, Associate Professor of the Practice in International Studies and Associate Director of the International Studies Program, Boston College

"At a time when industrial policy is once again a focus of policy agendas globally, this book comparatively analyses the situation in Europe from both theoretical and practical angles. One of the foremost experts in the field, Franco Mosconi, puts European industrial policy in perspective vis-a-vis competition from the USA and East Asia."
