The Review is inviting paper submissions for a special issue on

INDUSTRIAL POLICY

After over three decades of neo-liberal non-interventionist policies harsh realities put back industrial policies in the forefront of research and policy agenda. Astute intervention in the form of industrial policies is regarded as a promising policy tool to manage challenges such as pandemics, ruptures in global value chains, energy crises, transition towards the 'green economy', artificial intelligence, endless sanctions and trade and other wars. The objective of studies presented in this issue shall contribute to the debate and policy action in this highly relevant topic.
