Özet:

The aim of this dissertation is to investigate an alternative policy to the neoliberal development policy suggestion in the scope of the high-technology industrial catch-up of the latecomers with testing the hypothesis of “Chinese telecom equipment industry’s catch-up is the success of the guidance of the state and the state-led development policies.” In this policy, the state’s active and interventionist role is suggested in all phases of the catch-up. It is a triple system of state, foreign investment, and national industry-capital, and this system has a dynamic and interactive relation with each other. Telecom equipment industry of China is chosen as a case study for this research. Study of Chinese high-technology catch-up with related theoretical approaches, which underline the importance of the “triple system”, is the main contribution to the literature. Policy part of the conclusion chapter suggests an alternative catch-up way to the latecomer economies, rather than neoliberal catch-up policies. This model is managed by the state and “transfer of modern technologies via JVs between MNCs and national companies”, “funding of industrial activities by state-owned banks and markets” and “re-organizing or creating competitive SOEs in these industries” are the major characteristics of the model. This system is named in this thesis as “generative state” in which the state creates and sets up all related institutions and processes which are necessary to development and catch-up in a continuous manner. State actively manages all these phases with state-owned instruments. This structure as a whole is the major finding of the thesis.
