Preview The Politics of High Tech Growth: Developmental Network States in the Global Economy

Description:
Driven by high tech foreign investment, the ''Celtic Tiger'' economy in the Republic of Ireland was one of the economic ''success stories'' of the 1990s. This book argues, however, that the state played a central role in developing the Celtic Tiger economy as well, and particularly, the increasingly important Irish high tech industry. Typically seen as an example of successful market-led globalization, high tech growth in Ireland has actually been promoted by a new form of state intervention in the economy--one that fosters local networks of support through decentralized state institutions drawing on extensive local, national and global resources.
