Key Messages of the JICA Report on the Economic Development in Africa and the Asian Growth Experience (1) Industrialization Strategy as a process NOT a piece of document A trial and error process: be aware, some may end up in flops, but it has be embraced as part of the game Support measures adopted in accordance with institutional capacity one may as well begin with neutral cross sectoral measures Most support measures are permissible for LDCs, even under today s international rules

Key Messages of the JICA Report on the Economic Development in Africa and the Asian Growth Experience (2) Africa needs to sustain and accelerate growth through export-oriented industrialization Governments in Africa ought to have more policy space to discover and help develop growth-leading industries through trial-and-error process A call for establishing Industrialization Strategy process in Africa

Some unique features of the Asian experience Diversity in terms of development strategy, role of the state and growth-leading industries consequence of the country s effort of strategic responses to the changing conditions Existence of public-private partnership for addressing private sector constraints, developing future strategy and facilitating coordination Long-term (transformational) perspective in development strategy, which formed economic and social basis of development and guided private sector investment

Diversified Paths of Development in Asia Diversity across Countries Domestic Capital-Dependent vs. Foreign Capital-Dependent Natural Resource-Rich vs. Natural Resource-Poor Interventionism vs. Liberalism Diversity over Time IS EO (IS EO) Globalization Diversity in growth-leading Industries Heavy industry, consumer electronics, textiles, agro-processing, human resources, ICT A self-owned process of strategic responses to the changing environment and challenges/opportunities

Asian Dynamism Geographic diffusion of industrialization growth: a regional phenomenon Within each country, industrialization proceeds from low-tech to high-tech Also known as the Flying Geese Pattern Clear order and structure (with a possibility of re-formation)
