Chapter 5 in Clusters and Cluster Policy Models, 2025, pp 119-165 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 5 delves into the complexities of cluster development in emerging markets, offering a comprehensive examination of how clusters and cluster policies are evolving in developing countries. It begins with an introductory overview of key assumptions and characteristics, setting the stage for in-depth case studies of China, India, Thailand, Brazil, and Kenya. Each case study highlights the unique trajectories and strategies these nations employ to integrate clusters into their economic policies, reflecting on the varied roles of government and local institutions. The chapter concludes by synthesising findings from these diverse case studies, highlighting the multifaceted nature of cluster development and its critical role in driving economic growth and innovation in emerging markets. This synthesis emphasises the importance of tailored cluster policies that align with each country's unique socio-economic context, institutional framework, and development objectives.
