Solid transformation of the Ethiopian economy will generate its own industry of success attribution, but few will dispute that this book spells out succinctly and beautifully what is changing. There is no special secret as Arkebe rightly demonstrates: industrial policy is about a reform-minded government having a drive to make it happen; but also having the right cocktail of policies that generate the incentives in every front to make success possible. Fromagro-processing to light industrial production, from textiles to infrastructure servicing, Ethiopia has become a good case study for other countries to emulate. Be it through regulatory and macro incentives, be it through energy-centered investment, it demonstrates the need for coherence and eagerness tolearn from other realities, particularly from Asia. A must read for the many Africans engaged in structural transformation., 'Solid transformation of the Ethiopian economy will generate its own industry of success attribution, but few will dispute that this book spells out succinctly and beautifully what is changing. There is no special secret as Arkebe rightly demonstrates: industrial policy is about a reform-minded government having a drive to make it happen; but also having the right cocktail of policies that generate the incentives in every front to make success possible.From agro-processing to light industrial production, from textiles to infrastructure servicing, Ethiopia has become a good case study for other countries to emulate. Be it through regulatory and macroincentives, be it through energy-centered investment, it demonstrates the need for coherence and eagerness to learn from other realities, particularly from Asia. A must read for the many Africans engaged in structural transformation. 'Carlos Lopes, UN Undersecretary and UNECA Executive Secretary'Active and responsive industrial policy, trial-and-error attitude, and great attention to sectoral details proposed in this book are essentially East Asian. As a scholar and policy maker, Dr Arkebe has revealed to us what is going on in the mind-set of Ethiopian leaders, and why the country is growing fast and absorbing a large amount of light manufacturing investment from abroad. 'Kenichi Ohno, Professor, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokyo'Arkebe Oqubay is the ultimate insider, yet he offers an admirably detached and balanced assessment of the ups and downs of Ethiopia's industrial policies. His view of industrial policy is a sophisticated one. Successful intervention requires the right political and institutional framework. It demands a deep understanding of market opportunities, of supply-side problems and linkages across activities, and an appreciation of what government can and cannot do. And it depends, most crucially, on the government's capacity to implement the appropriate measures. This book will be essential reading for all those concerned with the process ofindustrialisation in developing countries.

Synopsis
Made in Africa presents the findings of original field research into the design, practice, and varied outcomes of industrial policy in the cement, leather and leather products, and floriculture sectors in Ethiopia. It explores how and why the outcomes of industrial policy are shaped by particular factors in these industries. It also examines industrial structures and associated global value chains to demonstrate the challenges faced by African firms in international markets. The findings are discussed against the backdrop of "industrial policy", which has recently found renewed favour among economists and international organizations, and of the history of thought about and practice in industrialization. The book seeks to learn from the failures and successes in the three sectors, all of them functioning under the umbrella of a single industrial strategy. It argues that an effective industrial policy requires a more interventionist state than most development economists would accept, including those recently claiming to champion a "new industrial policy". Moreover, it argues that success lies in the interactions among policy, specific industrial structures, and institutions. Specifically, a successful policy, he posits should maximize linkage effects, but will founder in the absence of a clear understanding of the political economy of each sector., A book on the design and practice of industrial policy that explores the challenges faced by African firms in international markets, with primary research data and policy experience from three Ethiopian case studies., This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.
