Rezensionen

"The transition from labour-intensive to skill- and technology-intensive manufacturing, which has been crucial for countries in the region aspiring to elevate their positions in global value chain (GVCs), has attracted considerable attention from academics and policy makers. This book by Kaoru Natsuda and John Thoburn is a timely addition to the discourse as it explores the role of industrial policies in the development of the automotive sector." Tham Siew Yean for Journal of Southeast Asian Economies, Volume 38, Issue 1, April 2021

"To begin with I must admit that I reviewed the book proposal for the publisher (Routledge) in 2018 and that I strongly endorsed the book - together with some other reviewers. Today, after having read the finished book, I do not regret, on the contrary. The purpose of Kaoru Natsuda and John Thoburn was on the one hand to consolidate factual knowledge about Southeast Asian automobile producing countries and how they have performed during an era of economic globalisation and regionalisation until the late 2010s. And on the other hand they aimed to analyse how various industrial policies have affected the evolution of automobile industries in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam (ASEAN-5) under different trade regimes, and how industrial policy can be used in an increasingly open economic environment. The two authors have adjusted and implemented the book proposal into a highly read-able, informative and reflective book." Peter Wad for Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy, 18 May 2022
