This book provides a global picture of  automotive industry development in emerging countries through the lens of global value chain analysis. Over the past two decades, auto production increasingly shifted to emerging economies, marking a significant reconfiguration of the global auto industry. This volume traces such shift to illustrate industrial development dynamics, focusing on new global players, their industrial strategies and on the structural characteristics of these emerging markets. It features chapters devoted to the theoretical analysis of industrial development in emerging countries, and collects a wide range of country cases illustrating different trajectories of auto industrialisation. These include better-known cases of dominant players as well as still underexplored cases such as Argentina, Hungary, Poland, Morocco, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam. This book will provide valuable reading to those researching globalization and emerging countries, their comparative industrialisation, and the intersection of government policies and business strategy, specifically concerning the automotive industry.
