Abstract: On the basis of regulations issued by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), bilateral investment agreements and free-trade agreements, industrial policy today takes place within the framework of extensively de-regulated international markets. Despite some restrictions, the WTO allows comprehensive industrial policy, whereas bilateral investments and free-trade agreements involve stricter restrictions for industrial policy. The article argues that comprehensive cluster policy is possible: through coherent interactions of technology policy, qualification measures for the work force, general subsidies, development banks, state-owned enterprises and institution building. Industrial policy in developing and emerging economies should concentrate on combining economic cluster policies with economic and social upgrading in global value chains.
