Analyse les politiques menées par l'État fédéral et les autorités locales pour favoriser l'avènement d'une économie "high-tech" aux États-Unis : initiatives en matière de politique économique et technologique, négociations internationales. Tire les leçons de l'expérience américaine pour entrer en "nouvelle économie". ©Electre 2025
Since the early 1990s, American economic performance has been phenomenal. The duration and strength of the nation's growth rates have exceeded the expectations of analysts both within and outside the United States government, and private sector investment, especially in computers and information and communications technology (ICT), has boosted the output of its manufacturing workers. This combination of high growth, low inflation, full employment, and technological innovation and adaptation has created what many observers call a "new economy."
The objective of this Note de l'Ifri is to analyze the policy initiatives undertaken by the American government at both the state and federal levels in advancing the present day high-tech economic environment, with a focus on its role in the area of information and communication technology. Policy development for the ICT sector has been a key focus of government officials for at least two decades, and these policies have been advanced both domestically and internationally. Yet ICT policy has been fashioned within the context of America's highly decentralized political economy, which has favored certain technological developments (e.g. the internet) over others (e.g. mobile telephony). In assessing the "lessons" of the American experience for the European Union and other regions that wish to create their own "new economies," it is important to recognize the constraints placed on technology policy by the political and economic structures in which it is articulated and carried out.
