Abstract
AbstractThis chapter reviews and compares the role of industrial policies in the development of China and India, looking for insights into rapid catch-up strategies. It argues that industrial policy and infant industry protection have been important in the development of both China and India, and that they would not be the strong global players they are if they had not had some industrial policy, even if some key policy elements differentiate the performance of the two countries and relate to how they have tapped into global knowledge as well as to their education strategies. The chapter also discusses three critical issues: how they were they able to avoid having their industries become permanent infants, what was the role of lax intellectual property protection, and to what extent will they be able to go beyond imitation to technology development.
