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.
