Why are countries increasingly turning to 'industrial policy' as their primary strategy for transitioning from fossil fuels? This course examines the historical roots of industrial policies and how they have been translated into the contemporary policy architecture of a 'green transition.' We explore key industrial sectors targeted by contemporary green industrial policies, such as semiconductors, automobiles, energy utilities, and the built environment. This course is global in scope and examines cases of green industrial policy in both rich world contexts and middle-income contexts, like China, India, Brazil and South Africa.
