有人认为，2000年代根据世界贸易组织规则实施的产业政策限制大大缩小了发展中国家促进工业化的“政策空间”。泰国是东南亚地区最成功的汽车工业之一，本文探讨了泰国发展汽车工业的政策。我们表明，泰国使用的当地含量的要求，后来根据世贸组织规则废除，有助于促进当地供应商，并没有阻止外国投资者。对汽车和零部件生产的实质性关税保护并没有阻止出口，即使在自由化政策下也一直持续到现在。泰国通过各种财政手段补充关税保护，以促进汽车行业的产品冠军，成功地保留了相当大的政策自由。
It has been argued that restrictions on industrial policy implemented under World Trade Organization rules in the 2000s have greatly reduced the ‘policy space’ in which developing countries can promote industrialisation. This paper examines the case of Thailand's policies in developing one of the most successful automotive industries in the Southeast Asian region. We show that Thailand's use of local content requirements, later abolished under WTO rules, helped promote local suppliers and did not deter foreign investors. Substantial tariff protection of vehicles and components production did not deter exports, and has continued to the present, even under liberalisation policies. Supplementing tariff protection by various fiscal means to promote product champions in the automotive industry, Thailand has succeeded in retaining substantial policy freedom.
