Silicon Valley in Eastern Slovakia? Neoliberalism, Post-Socialism and the Knowledge Economy

Author

  • Martin Sokol

Abstract

The essay critically examines the prospect of emulating a Silicon Valley-style regional development in the post-socialist context of East-Central Europe. It underlines the problematic nature of the Silicon Valley concept itself and examines the way in which the concept has been ‘domesticated’ in Košice, a peripheral region in eastern Slovakia undergoing a painful post-socialist transformation towards the market economy. In doing so, the essay also highlights links between neoliberalism, post-socialism and the knowledge-based economy.
