Dr Jostein Hauge

Dr Hauge’s research lies at the intersection of international political economy and development economics, with a particular focus on global and national industrialization processes.

He is the author of 'The Future of the Factory: How Megatrends are Changing Industrialization', 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 broadly, 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 various academic journals, including African Affairs, Development Policy Review, Geoforum, New Political Economy, Third World Quarterly, and World Economy.

In addition to his academic research, Dr Hague's advises on policy issues for governments and international organisations, and has co-authored reports and articles 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. His work has also appeared in various media outlets, such as The Guardian, The Economist, The Conversation and International Politics and Society.
