Industrial Globalization in the Twenty-first Century (Paperback, illustrated Edition)

The papers in this volume overview the patterns of industrial globalization in a select number of industries: electronics, automobiles, heavy industry, and chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The narrative proceeds with a discussion on how FDI and global production networks--two specific forms of industrial globalization--contribute to industrial upgrading, followed by three case studies detailing the experiences of Ireland, Singapore, and the United Kingdom in inducing FDI inflows.
