| Description: |
An account of the Eureka initiative with explanations of how it works. The book offers an insider's account, based on interviews with Eureka officials, and should be of interest to students, practitioners of social science, and also to industrialists. |
| Synopsis: |
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. |
