High Technology and the Competition State: An Analysis of the Eureka Initiative - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Since its origins in 1985, the Eureka initiative has grown to rival in size and importance the European Community's collaborative research and development programmes. Industry-led and intergovernmental in structure, it functions without a centralized organizational structure or source of funds. "High Technology and the Competition State" is an in-depth analysis of Eureka. John Peterson argues that Eureka is indicative of an entirely new type of policymaking, and, in some senses, a new form of government. He shows how Eureka reflects the transition to new "competition state" public policy strategies to promote supply-side innovation. The volume breaks new ground by applying a theoretical model of "policy networks" to explain how Eureka works in practice.
