Semiconductors, Scotland and the International Division of Labour

JCentre of Urban Studies and Urban Planning and in the Department of Sociology at the University of Hong Kong

The paper seeks to analyse the semiconductor industry in Scotland in relation to the international division of labour of which it is a part. It does this by theorising the emergence and subsequent development of the industry both within Scotland, and in terms of its structural connections with American semiconductor production in the USA and Southeast Asia. In this context, the paper explores some of the social and spatial implications of the industry's development in 'Silicon Glen'. The paper concludes with a number of comments on the significance of the semiconductor industry in Scotland for analyses informed by the international division of labour perspective.
