Biography
Dr Jostein Hauge is a political economist and an Assistant Professor at the Centre of Development Studies in the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS). He is also a Fellow of Magdalene College. Prior to his post at the University of Cambridge, he was an LSE Fellow in International Political Economy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He has also worked as a Research Associate at the Centre for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy at the University of Cambridge.
Dr Hauge completed his PhD at the Centre of Development Studies in POLIS, supervised by Ha-Joon Chang. He obtained his Master’s degree in Political Economy of Development from the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, and his Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Research
Dr Hauge’s research lies at the intersection of international political economy and development economics, with a particular focus on economic development and industrialization in the global South. He is the author of “The Future of the Factory: How Megatrends are Changing Industrialization”, a book coming out in 2023 with Oxford University Press. 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. While Dr Hauge’s work concerns economic development in the global South as a whole, much of his work has focused and still focuses on Africa, in particular the political economy of development in Ethiopia.
His recent research has been published in African Affairs, Development Policy Review, Geoforum, New Political Economy, Third World Quarterly, and World Economy. In addition to his academic research, Dr Hauge writes for media outlets such as The Guardian, The Conversation, International Politics and Society, and Africa is a Country. He also advises on policy issues for governments and international organisations, and has co-authored reports and essays for the UN Economic Commission for Africa, the UN Industrial Development Organisation, the World Economic Forum, and the UK Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
