Summary

"Tech Emergence" explores how American tech companies achieved global dominance in the 20th and 21st centuries. The book examines the interplay of government policy, entrepreneurial spirit, and cultural shifts that propelled these companies forward. It highlights how significant R&D Funding during pivotal historical moments, such as World War II, laid the groundwork for advancements in computing, networking, and software.

The book further contends that the uniquely American culture of innovation and risk-taking allowed entrepreneurs to capitalize on these advancements, building groundbreaking companies and shaping the tech industry. The book takes a comprehensive approach, dissecting the origins, innovations, and impacts of tech giants like IBM, Apple, and Google. Each case study emphasizes the relationship between government support, individual innovation, and cultural context. For example, the internet's development, initially funded by government initiatives, became a platform for entrepreneurs to create new business models and reshape communication.

These detailed analyses provide valuable lessons for understanding the complex ecosystem that fostered American technological leadership. The book progresses systematically, starting with key concepts and historical context, moving into specific case studies, and culminating in broader conclusions about the drivers of American technological leadership. It emphasizes that the rise of American tech giants was not solely due to market forces, but also a result of strategic government support and a culture that embraced technological innovation. This framework offers guidance for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in fostering future innovation.

European Integration...

Andreas Kellerhals, Tobias...

With the White Paper on the Future of Europe, the European Commission had launched a debate on fundamental reforms of the Union structures in 2017. A total of five reform scenarios ranged from a reduction and focusing of the Union’s competences to increased integration in the sense of a United States of Europe. However, the White Paper did not have any consequences; none of the reform scenarios presented was implemented. However, current global challenges in the areas of health, climate change and energy resources as well as the shift in the global balance of power and related security issues demonstrate the increasing importance of a strong and united Europe. The idea of an “ever closer union”, as laid down in the preamble of the 1992 EU Treaty, could experience a renaissance. Against this background, the 13th Network Europe Conference addressed the importance of the integration project in times of global crises and the challenges in various policy areas, as well as the EU’s relations with its eastern and southern neighbors and its role vis-à-vis global actors such as China and Russia. This publication contains the conference contributions.
