Mediating Globalization challenges this increasingly dominant perspective, demonstrating that national governments often respond to global competitive pressures with more, not less, economic intervention. Using interviews, archival research, and secondary sources, Andrew P. Cortell explores the strategies adopted by the United States and Britain with regard to one of the world's most globalized sectors, the semiconductor industry. From the early 1970s through the mid-1990s, he argues, increasing globalization pressures in each country led them to more actively intervene in the evolution of their semiconductor markets, rather than assume a more marginal role. The empirical evidence, moreover, indicates that the two countries adopted similar responses, whether liberal or interventionist, as a consequence of similar domestic institutional incentives rather than constraints identified to emerge from globalization. 410 0$aSUNY series in global politics. 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aIndustrial policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aIndustrial policy$zUnited States 606 $aInternational economic relations 607 $aGreat Britain$xEconomic policy 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aIndustrial policy 615 0$aIndustrial policy 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 676 $a337.73 700 $aCortell$b Andrew P.$f1964-$01690652 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807688203321 996 $aMediating globalization$94066468 997 $aUNINA
