Innovation Policy at the Intersection: Global Debates and Local Experiences - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

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:

• The theories and approaches that have historically informed STI policy-making, along with the most influential current approaches in different country contexts;
• The development and application of comprehensive STI monitoring and evaluation systems as developed and implemented by various public agencies; and
• 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.
