O'RAIAN, S. 2004. The Politics of High Tech Growth. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK.
From the Cambridge University Press Web site. This book argues that beneath the Irish trade and foreign investment boom lies a more interesting story of regional innovation promoted by an alliance between the state and local technical communities. This alliance was governed through a decentralized set of state institutions, drawing on global and local economic and political resources. This Developmental Network State has had a significant impact on the growth of Ireland's high tech cluster and is central to the emergence of an international network of global high tech regions from Silicon Valley to Ireland, Taiwan, and Israel. The book provides a detailed study of the rise of the software industry in Ireland and of the state institutions and political conditions which promoted it. It shows how new network state policies and institutions have been central to high tech regions elsewhere.

From the article. This article uses ... contradictions with the Irish industrial structure to explore the dilemmas of development in a world of global and local networks.
