Features of formation of industrial cluster policy in developing countries of Asia

The article considers the features of development, formation and application of cluster policy of the industrial complex within the borders of developing Asian countries. The purpose of the article is to identify the characteristic features of the model of development of industrial cluster policy in the conditions of the Asia-Pacific region through a comparative analysis of individual countries. The authors set a number of tasks for conducting the study of the designated issue taking into account the available information, including determining the main stages in the chronology of development of industrial cluster policy in China, Thailand and the Republic of Korea; identifying the role of government agencies in the formation and practical implementation of industrial cluster policy; identifying the main patterns in the practice of applying the results of designing industrial cluster policy within the borders of China, Thailand and the Republic of Korea; studying the factors influencing the development of industrial cluster policy and the course of its practical implementation in Asian countries; analyzing and assessing the degree of influence of the implementation of measures within the framework of cluster policy on the development of the industrial complex of the countries presented in the review. Among the methods that were used in the process of writing the article, the authors applied ontological analysis, system analysis, content analysis, specification and comparison. As an example, the authors turned to the experience of developing industrial cluster policy in China, Thailand and South Korea. In the course of the study, the main indicators were identified that reflect progress within the framework of the considered area of development of the countries, the main intersections in the structure of industrial cluster policy of the three developing economies were identified, and the key patterns of their development were studied in a private manner. The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of the stages of formation of industrial cluster policy in China, Thailand and South Korea, and identified the characteristic features of the current level of development of the countries. As a result of the study, it was possible to compile in chronological order the stages of development of industrial cluster policy in Asian countries, identify key conceptual features in its reform, trace a number of intersections and analogies in matters of development and implementation of industrial cluster policy using the example of large economies.
