Abstract

This paper analyses the role played by the National Commission for Industrial Productivity (CNPI) in the development of the Spanish footwear industry. First the nature of the Commission is reviewed highlighting its links with the «americanisation» campaign that took place in post-war Europe. Then, it is shown that footwear was one of the priority sectors for the CNPI, and the main initiatives developed by the organism in this industry in the years prior to the take off of exports are expounded. In third place, it is shown that the sector had already undergone a profound «americanisation» in Spain and in Europe in general during the first third of the 20th century. Lastly, the paper attempts to assess the effective repercussion of the CNPI's actions.

Resumen

Este artículo analiza el papel desempeñado por la Comisión Nacional de Productividad Industrial (CNPI) en el desarrollo de la industria española del calzado. En primer lugar se revisa el carácter de la Comisión y se destacan sus vínculos con la campaña de «americanización» que tuvo lugar en la Europa de postguerra. A continuación se muestra que el calzado fue uno de los sectores prioritarios para la CNPI y se exponen las principales iniciativas desarrolladas por el organismo en esta industria en los años previos a su despegue exportador. En tercer lugar, se demuestra que el sector ya había experimentado una profunda «americanización», en España y en el conjunto de Europa, durante el primer tercio del siglo XX. Finalmente se intenta valorar la repercusión efectiva de las actuaciones de la CNPI.
