The purpose of this article is to make a diagnosis of an economic activity identified as relevant in a local economy, in order to verify if it meets the criteria that characterize an industrial cluster. This paper presents the overall results of research which analyzes the case of the candy and chocolate industries from the point of view of industrial clusters. The research is relevant considering that it presents a methodology for measuring the degree of functionality of a productive activity considered as relevant in a local economy under international operation standards, which is not common in studies of countries in Latin America. The study seeks to answer the following research questions: - What is an industrial cluster and what are its characteristics ? - How to identify and evaluate an economic activity under a focus for industrial cluster? - What are the competitive strengths and opportunities for local economic activity? - Is it possible to design a strategy to promote the competitiveness of local economic activity? The paper consists of the following parts: - An introduction that presents the general problem context of the research subject is - Theoretical studies and related research methodology. Results of the investigation - Proposition of strategic intervention to improve the functionality of the local cluster studied The case study focuses on San Luis Potosí State, México, and it seeks to demonstrate the need to carry out industrial cluster initiatives as a strategy to promote enterprise development and strengthen economic activities in the manufacture of candies and chocolate, identified as relevant in the local context.

The aim of the article is to provide a reflection on the role of industrial policy in st-imulating the processes of development and economic convergence. In the first place, there are presented the most important features of vision of economic development and convergence in terms of the two schools of economics: the mainstream and the evolutio-nary one. Then, it is demonstrated how specific ontological assumptions about the nature of economic processes lead to different views on the desired shape of industrial policy. While neoclassical economics focuses on preventing market failures, evolutionary eco¬nomics provides a realistic vision of development and a broader justification for the con¬duct of industrial policy.

Artykuł zawiera analizę wewnętrznej spójności nowej ekonomii strukturalnej (NSE), koncepcji polityki wzrostu gospodarczego sformułowanej przez chińskiego ekonomistę Justina Y. Lina, oraz jej zdolności do tłumaczenia gospodarczych sukcesów i porażek krajów rozwijających się. Po dekadach hegemonii konsensusu waszyngtońskiego NSE, opowiadając się za selektywną polityką przemysłową, stwarzała wrażenie paradygmatycznej zmiany w badaniach nad rozwojem. Jednak analiza tej koncepcji ujawnia istotne mankamenty. NSE to niewiele więcej niż zestaw reguł polityki wzrostu wraz z bardzo ogólną i dyskusyjną wizją procesów rozwoju gospodarczego, na które składają się arbitralnie dobrane elementy ekonomii neoklasycznej. Autor nie proponuje żadnej metodologii oraz terminologii, które mogłyby otworzyć nowe pola badawcze lub znacząco pogłębić dotychczasowy stan wiedzy. Odświeża jedynie stare dychotomiczne ujęcia promocji eksportu i substytucji importu. Podkreśla, że państwo jest niezbędne w procesach rozwoju, ale nie przedstawia żadnych nowych argumentów na rzecz interwencjonizmu. Wbrew popularnym poglądom, koncepcja ta nie tłumaczy należycie gospodarczych sukcesów krajów Azji Wschodniej (Japonia, Korea Płd., Tajwan). Dobór wykorzystanej literatury jest tendencyjny i dopasowany do z góry przyjętej tezy. NSE trudno uznać za "trzecią falę myśli rozwojowej", a przymiotnik "nowa" wydaje się służyć jedynie celom marketingowo-retorycznym. W artykule posłużono się metodami analizy treści, metodą porównawczą oraz metodą analizy logicznej.

The article deals with the problem of the internal consistency of the new structural economics (NSE), the economic growth policy concept developed by the Chinese economist Justin Y. Lin, and its ability to explain economic successes and failures of the developing countries. Initially by arguing in favour of a selective industrial policy the NSE seemed to manifest a pragmatic change in the field of development studies. However, the deeper analysis reveals its significant flaws. NSE is little more than a set growth policy rules supported by a very general and controversial vision of economic development composed of arbitrarily chosen elements of neoclassical economics. Neither new methodology nor new terminology are proposed that could open up new research fields or significantly enlarge the existing stock of knowledge. Instead the old dichotomy of export promotion and import substitution are refreshed. While Lin emphasises that the state is necessary in development processes, he offers no new arguments in favour of interventionism. Contrary to conventional wisdom, his concept does not properly explain the successes of East Asiatic countries (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan) in catch-up policies. The economic literature is used in arbitrary way and suited to the a priori taken thesis. The adjective 'new' seems to serve marketing or rhetoric purposes only. Content and logical analysis methods as well as comparative methods are used in the article.
