Here is the write up/blurp: Worldwide, countries have to respond to local and global
socio-technological shifts and needs, specifically the transformations wrought
by a rapidly shifting understanding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Science, technology and innovation policy (STI) finds itself at the
intersection of these local and global challenges. Innovation Policy at
the Intersection: Global Debates and Local Experiences shows that a
comprehensive rethink in STI policy-making is required – one that takes a
systemic view of the varied challenges, and adopts an inclusive and holistic
approach to STI policy. Such a rethink has to bring together the global and
local, the theoretical and practical.
The chapters in this book follow three broad concerns: (1) The theories and approaches that have historically informed science, technology and innovation policy-making, along with the most influential current approaches in different country contexts; (2) The development and application of comprehensive STI monitoring and evaluation systems as developed and implemented by various public agencies; and (3) The role and function of STI policy advisory bodies within their respective contexts.
Innovation Policy at the Intersection provides a comparative lens of different theories and practices across a unique spectrum of national contexts, including Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Finland, Iran, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, South Korea, and Sweden.
The open access version of the book will be available within 6 months from the HSRC Press and my open access sites. Early bird versions of the e-book can be requested from me.
