This presentation comments on John Weiss' Export Growth and Industrial Policy: Lesson from the East Asian Miracle Experience. The presentation took place at the 2005 LAEBA Second Annual Conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 28-29 November. The paper focuses on whether industrial policy is still relevant and which policies are relevant. Additionally, there's another key question that is addressed: to understand the Latin American experience: What factors enabled some countries to successfully implement their industrial policies; while these policies quickly failed in others?
