ABSTRACT
In this chapter we shall be concerned not only with industrial policy as a device for influencing industrial structures (i.e. the growth and decline of industries, the size of, and linkages between, firms, and so on) but also with science and technology policy. In short, following the approach adopted in Chapter 1, the phrase industrial policy will be taken to cover both these aspects. The science and technology dimension will incidentally require us to refer to the role of Euratom.
