Summary:

Of interest to economists working with developing nations, this collection of seven essays on economic development examines policies and processes in sector "catch-up" and explores ways in which governments, industry, and public-private partnerships can propel second-level industries upwards. The articles discuss the telecommunications, pharmaceutical, software, semiconductor, and agricultural food sectors and focus on second tier producer nations such as China, India, Brazil, Korea, and Taiwan. Contributors are academics and researchers in economics from universities around the world. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
