Deindustrialization is a major issue for all industrialized countries, in Europe and in America. This is also the case for Japan and Korea, two countries that have experienced an economic development based on the growth of manufacturing industries and that are particularly concerned by the rise of China in the international division of labor.

The purpose of this workshop is twofold. First, it revisits the link between deindustrialization and globalization, which is often blamed as a cause of deindustrialization, without much empirical evidence. Second, it investigates the emergence of new industries as a mean to stabilize the above trend or event to reverse it. The issues are then how to promote it and how governments can help the process.

The originality of this event is that papers that will be presented are dealing with German, French but also Japanese and Korean cases that are not well not known in Europe.

This event concludes a 3-year research program on the issues of industries coordinated by the Fondation France-Japon de EHESS (Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales, Paris) that gave birth to various publications and debates.
