Abstract
Government actions to stimulate the production of particular goods and services in specific sectors (industry, agriculture, social services, infrastructure, etc.) have had major impacts on which groups are favored or disadvantaged, placated or threatened, as well as on general societal stability. Sectoral policies, that is, the policies that favor related types of activities, have been among the most debated in the modern history of development economics. These sectoral strategies are also thoroughly intertwined with many other policy dimensions and categorizations covered in other chapters.
