Strategic Production and Innovation Systems: towards a new anatomy of structural change
Keywords:
Structural Change, Economic Development, New Capitalism, State Planning, Intellectual MonopoliesAbstract
The following article discusses the sectoral approach to structural change and the notion of strategic sectors as a guiding principle for a national development strategy. It argues that after the transformations in the organization of global production in the 1970s, a new structural logic diminishes the analytical relevance of the sectoral notion. Therefore, this paper proposes to identify the foundations for a new anatomy of structural change which shows more coherence with modern capitalism. To achieve this objective, traditional approaches such as Latin American Structuralism are contrasted with more modern schools of thought, like the Global Value Chains Theory and the literature on Intellectual Monopolies. As a result of this analysis, a synthetic concept for the study of structural change is proposed, called Strategic Production and Innovation Systems.
