Abstract

In this chapter, I examine the origins of Ireland’s export-oriented industrial policy and review the success of this policy over the past 50 years. This is placed within the context of a remarkable history of both overall economic successes and failures of the small open Irish economy. The experience of Ireland also shows that industrial policy does not operate in a vacuum and failures in macro-economic, fiscal and banking policies can undermine the success of even the best designed industrial policies.
