Policies for Industrial Learning in China and Mexico: Neo-developmental vs. Neo-liberal approaches

Abstract Previous work has shown that the results of both China and Mexico’s export-led market reforms over the past quarter century have been strikingly different. In contrast to China, Mexico has not managed to increase the value added of its exports of manufactured goods and has subsequently had a difficult time competing with China in world markets. Building on this previous work, in this paper we conduct a comparative analysis of the role of government policies in industrial learning and the development of capabilities of indigenous firms in Mexico and China in order to shed light on why China is so outperforming Mexico. We find that Mexico and China have had starkly different approaches to economic reform in this area. Mexico’s approach to reform has been a “neo-liberal” one, whereas China’s could be described as “neo-developmental.” Mexico’s hands-off approach to learning has resulted in a lack of development of endogenous capacity of domestic firms, little transfer of technology, negligible progress in the upgrading of industrial production, and little increase in value added of exports. By contrast, China has deployed a hands-on approach of targeting and nurturing domestic firms through a gradual and trial and error led set of government policies.International trade, development, competitiveness, value added, government policy, assembly operations

Low speed aerodynamic characteristics of the GD/C B-18E3 booster

A 0.02 scale model of the B-18E3 space shuttle booster was tested in a low speed wind tunnel to evaluate the low speed aerodynamic charactersitics. The basic configuration, including build-up, was tested at a Mach number of 0.201 and Reynolds number per foot of 1.39 million. The normal angle-of-attack range was -4 to +24 degrees in 2 degree increments, at sideslip angles of 0 and 5 degrees. Some lateral data were obtained at the sideslip angle range of -6 to 10 degrees at angles-of attack of 0, 10, and 15 degrees. Data were obtained for canard, split elevon, and split rudder deflections

This is the final version of the article. Available from the publisher via the link in this record.Two articles: Father Georges Florovsky: a biography (pp. 86-93) and Florovsky’s Ecumenism (pp. 94-97)If the greatness of a theologian is determined by his influence, Georges Florovsky is undoubtedly the greatest Eastern Orthodox theologian of the 20th century, as indeed is often claimed. His theological programme and method of a spiritual return to, and renewal in, the Byzantine heritage (the Greek Patristic corpus, the monastic and liturgical tradition) – in line with the well-worn slogan, ‘neo-patristic synthesis’ – has increasingly become the dominant paradigm for the Orthodox theology and ecumenical activity. As a teacher, his students included some of the best-known names in modern Orthodox theology: Father John Meyendorff (1926-92), Father John Romanides (1928-2001) and Metropolitan John (Zizioulas) of Pergamon (b. 1931). In addition, he mentored others who are also now key figures in modern Orthodox thought: Archimandrite Sophrony Sakharov (1896-1993), Vladimir Lossky (1903-58), Father Alexander Schmemann (1921-83) and Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia (b. 1934
