Policy networks analysis, Information Society, Catalonia, Euskadi, institutionsAbstract
From a quantitative perspective, this article analyses the policy networks that promote Information Society in Catalonia and Euskadi. It aims to map and to clarify what actors are perceived as influential, the relationships that are established between these actors and the interests that prevail. With all this information it will be examined if differences or similarities exist between Catalonia and Euskadi, and it will allow to discuss in what measure the public policies guided to the promotion of the Information Society in both regions are (or not) conditioned by the forms and structures of the policy networks.
