This book provides a comprehensive overview of automotive industry development in emerging countries through the lens of global value chains. Over the past two decades, automobile production increasingly shifted to emerging economies, reconfiguring the global auto industry significantly. This volume traces this shift to illustrate industrial development dynamics, focusing on new players, their industrial strategies and on structural characteristics of these emerging markets. The volume’s first part is devoted to the theoretical analysis of industrial development issues affecting automotive industrialisation, including institutions, business strategies, technological change and labour regimes. The second part collects a range of country cases illustrating different automotive industrialisation trajectories. These include better-known countries as well as still underexplored cases across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. This book will provide valuable reading to those researching globalisation and emerging countries, their comparative industrialisation, and the intersection of government policies and business strategy, specifically concerning the automotive industry.
