Young Scholars Conference on Structural Change and Industrial Policy in Africa

The Young Scholars Conference on Structural Change and Industrial Policy in Africa presents papers from young scholars whose work engages with these themes, challenges existing paradigms on structural transformation in Africa and seeks innovative ways for advancing our understanding of functional industrial policy across the continent. We especially encourage research that takes a pluralist perspective. The purpose of this conference is to contribute to scholarship on structural change and industrial development and policy in Africa, specifically among young scholars.

The Young Scholars Conference on Structural Change and Industrial Policy in Africa is jointly hosted by the DSI/NRF South African Research Chair in Industrial Development (SARChI-ID) and the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI). These institutions have collaborated in this joint conference in recognition of the need to strengthen research on structural change and industrial development and policy amongst young scholars in Africa.
