  • In this paper, we adopt an evolutionary approach to understand the role of industrial policies in developing regional short –and long-term resilience. We take an in-depth look at the different type of policy instruments to categorise the different place-based approaches and industrial policy mixes and explore their role in addressing grand societal challenges. To do so, the paper examines the Basque Country region in Spain, which not only has implemented a long-term industrial policy over the last 40 years but has also demonstrated to be a resilient region during previous crises.
