This paper is an outline of recent industrial restructuring which has occurred in Wales and the role of the state through industrial policies in these changes, It is shown that, although the state has made strenuous efforts to attract investment—particularly from overseas—to Wales, it has operated its policies on nationalised industries on narrow profit-or-loss lines irrespective of regional dimensions. The contradiction between the two strands of policy is illustrated with a critical analysis of the treatment of the coal and steel industries and an appraisal of regional policies. New policies for the regions are then described.

Precarization, in its form and consequences, varies across workers, sectors and geographies. The five articles in this special issue examine ways that workers have struggled with and against precarious labor in different contexts, from low-wage retail and service workers in Canada and the USA, to manufacturing and construction workers in India and China. In particular, they show that the role of the state has been crucial in shaping the terrain of struggle at the workplace and in the wider community. They argue that against all odds protesting workers have repeatedly exercised some power to influence employer and government policies.

Electronics Sector

The dynamics of leading-edge industries are of primary importance in understanding national trajectories of industrialisation and corresponding spatial development. With reference to the state's role and the increasing importance of transnational flows, the paper analyses the emergence of Taiwan's electronics sector in the context of technical and organisational issues. It also traces the impacts on location and space. The paper demonstrates the implications for Taiwan's electronics sector of recurrent restructuring of the industry globally. The indispensable role of the state is examined, as an agent of both industrial restructuring and of production location. The paper shows that the trajectory of development of electronics in postwar Taiwan is a function of global forces as refracted through the prism of a strategic state.
