Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: We analyze several aspects in an economic, social and political perspective as key elements to realize technological modernization and economic development of regions, focused on Andalusian reality at three levels: the context of convergence in New Economy and ICT between Spanish regions; a comparative approach (national and international) of Andalusian levels of ICT industries, availability and quality of infrastructures and technological services, use and absorptive capacity of ICT; an internal analysis of Andalusian data using the Barometer i@ landalus, cutting by Andalusian provinces, age of people and size of municipalities. We found Andalusia badly positioned both in relation with Spain and internationally; nevertheless in the last years we can see an enhancement in their data, even if it shows a clear gap in relation to more advanced regions. But the solution for this must not be limited to increase funds devoted to these activities; it must be combined with a strategic transformation of productive, political and social structures as well as a reorientation of systems of values and of certain cultural aspects.
