Abstract: "This book is intended as a definitive textbook on European industrial policy. Its key benefit over other literature in the area is in its presentation of industrial policy as a generic concept comprising many different policy tools and styles, as opposed to focusing on specific industrial sectors or countries. It places industrial policy within the context of the integration process and the business environment, and as such provides a clear, generic conceptualisation of its subject."--Jacket.
