The Industrialisation of the Developing Countries

A. Maizels

Chapter Chapter 2 in Controlling Industrial Economies, 1983, pp 29-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is generally acknowledged that industrialisation is the major path to the economic development of the underdeveloped regions of the world. However, in spite of strenuous efforts to foster the growth of manufacturing industry in a wide range of developing countries over the postwar period, very few of these countries have so far been able to develop a substantial and diversified industrial base. The majority of developing countries remain heavily dependent on exports of primary commodities to the markets of developed countries for their supplies of manufactured goods.
