A new global socio-economic, political and technological landscape Higher uncertainty, growing complexity and growing power pressures (reconfiguration of blocks/alliances/interests) Experimentation and country (and local level) of new approaches and solutions to address the evolving and uneven impacts of globalisation
3 Premises Development is a process of transformation of socio-economic structures (=> Production structure matters for development what you produce, how you organise production and what and with whom you trade impact standards of living, job creation and degree of inclusiveness of growth patterns). There are no natural reasons for a country or a region to be specialised in an activity/sector. Specialisation and diversification patterns are often determined by a combination of factors including market incentives, with ACTIVE and SELECTIVE public policies in a variety of fields and institution building. Variety of ways. Globalisation & the past and on-going changes in the organisation of production have opened and are opening potential opportunities for production transformation in developing economies. But the current GVCs debate is happening in an evolving and different global economic context (different demands, aspirations and worries for different countries; almost 3 decades of accumulative changes in the re-organisation of production and growing cross-national [science, production and financial] interests and emerging new trends).
Increasing value added of domestic production Creating better jobs (which requires better skills) Promoting research, technological development and innovation to sustain competitiveness
Growing uncertainty and complexity => return of national industrial development strategies in global economies (challenge of defining the vision and clarifying the stakeholders) New values for market and the society (inclusiveness and sustainability) Behavioural patterns conducing to superior performance what do we know about it? (cooperation/collaboration/networks) MNCs are changing strategies => relocation, benefits of co-location between manufacturing and innovation& services SMEs facing specific challenges which require specific responses
