Regional Policies for a Global Industry? Some Reflections on the Aerospace System in Puglia

Nicola Coniglio

QA - Rivista dell'Associazione Rossi-Doria, 2013, issue 1

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe the recent evolution of the Apulian aerospace cluster and critically analyze the role of regional industrial policies in a "global" industry. Industrial policy at the regional level shows some shortcomings, and could serve for a second-best solution in the absence of a national strategy in the current Italian framework. We argue that a "normalization" of industrial policy and a clear division of labour between the different government levels is needed in order to avoid erosion of Italy’s comparative advantage in high tech industries characterized by strong market failures.
