Dr Jostein Hauge has recently published a book with Oxford University Press, titled “The Future of the Factory: How Megatrends are Changing Industrialization”. The book investigates how industrialization pathways are shaped by recent technological developments, new forces of globalization, and the threat of ecological collapse. It also charts new pathways for industrial policy and global governance.
So far, Jostein has had the pleasure of delivering talks about the book at the University of Cambridge, King’s College London, the School of Oriental and African Studies, the University of Manchester, University College London, and to civil servants at the UK Department for Business and Trade. He has also appeared on the podcasts, The Bunker and In Pursuit of Development, to talk about the book, and has been interviewed by Bloomberg News about the book.
