O texto procura analisar a integração do Mercosul em seus primeiros dez anos sob a ótica da base produtiva, tentando avaliar qual o impacto do acordo em relação à inserção internacional. Utiliza-se a base de dados Comtrade, da Divisão de Estatística da ONU e a metodologia CAN (Competitiveness Analysis of Nations) da Divisão Cepal/Onudi de Indústria e Tecnologia, que permite consultas dos fluxos de comércio por setores industriais. O estudo conclui que a integração, embora realizadora de resultados favoráveis, foi insuficiente para promover uma transformação produtiva e uma melhor inserção internacional. O papel da política industrial para a promoção da competitividade também é discutido. Abstract The article aims to analyze the Mercosul integration in its first ten years of existence under the focus of the productive basis, attempting to evaluate the agreement impact in relation to international insertion. It’s utilized the Comtrade database from ONU’s Statistics Division and the methodology CAN (Competitiveness Analysis of Nations) of Cepal/Onudi Division of Industry and Technology, that allow investigations of trade flows to industrial sectors. The study concludes that the integration, although had accomplished favorable results, it was insufficient to fostering a productive transformation and a better international insertion. The role of industrial policy to promote competitiveness is also debated.

Abstract Within the growing literature on Canadian industrial policy, relatively little attention has been paid to the shipbuilding sector. This paper identifies and explores the distinct phases of government intervention in shipbuilding from 1945 to 1965. With the formation of the Canadian Maritime Commission, intervention took many forms, which reflected contradictory, conflicting, and competing interests. Over this period, intervention ranged from aiding reconversion to sustaining marginal yards for national security reasons. Defence considerations would play the largest role throughout this era. In examining the varied interests reflected in the deliberations of the Maritime Commission and the Departments of Defence Production, Finance, and Industry, this study demonstrates thai defence policy cannot be ignored when assessing industrial policy for this era. At least for shipbuilding, government policy appears to have hampered domestic and international competitiveness.

The influence of globalization on international competitiveness is considered in the article. Two strategies of economic growth are pointed out: the low road, that is producing more at lower cost and lower wages, with increasingly intensive exploitation of labor and environment, and the high road, that is upgrading capabilities in order to produce better basing on knowledge. Restrictions for developing countries trying to reach global competitiveness are formulated. Special attention is paid to the concept of upgrading and opportunities of joining transnational value chains. The importance of learning and forming social and political institutions for successful upgrading of the economy is stressed.
