Özet:

Nationalist approach in the promotion of technological production is seen in general as opposition to techno-globalization. However, techno-nationalism has shown a change in the process of transforming into an information economy, as well, and turned into neo-techno-nationalism. Neo-techno-nationalism is an approach that encourages benefiting from the opportunities provided by globalization to the highest extent possible, promoting public-private partnerships, and using the Diaspora in global competition as an effective factor. In this study, the theoretical background of the concepts of techno-nationalism, techno-globalization and neo-techno-nationalism will be given in a comparative way with their historical development processes, and, taking into account increasing significance of networks in the world economy, the concept of Diasporas as a tool of neo-techno-nationalist policies and its contribution to the development of national software industries will be examined. Policy choices and Diasporas of newly emerging economies with strong software industries like Brazil, China and India will be investigated in the following part and their experience in using Diasporas in the field of software industry to global competitiveness will be analyzed. Turkish Diaspora will also be studied in this section. In the last part, following a review of general findings obtained in the study, proposals on how Turkey can use Turkish Diaspora in the development of the software industry will be provided.
