La seconda parte del corso sarà dedicata all'analisi delle politiche industriali in prospettiva storica e comparata.

- the first globalization in the second half of the 19th century;
- the interwar period 1914-1945;
- the different economic patterns in the 1950s and in 1960s;
- the European integration process (1930-1990);
- the slowdown and the emergence of new markets (1973-1981);
- the second globalisation during the 1980s and the 1990s.
The second part of the course will be dedicated to the problem of industrial policies in historical and comparative perspective.
