El proceso del cambio tecnológico en zonas de borde. El caso andaluz (España)
Abstract
The central theme of this article is a look at the process of technological change in a peripheral border zone (Andalusia) in the south of the European Union and Spain, and which, as well, borders Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar. This process of change, in our opinion, is due in part to the area's having only one market, and to the fact that between 1990 and 1998 the regional institutions have given place to a modernization technology. Other causes are the structure of the organizational scherne of the environment, the appearance of some innovative clusters related to the industry that tends to externalize the process of production (aeronautics, automobile) and the emergence of innovative, creative, research and development companies (I+D).
