Handbook on Innovation Systems and Developing Countries: Building Domestic Capabilities in a Global Setting (repost)

The innovation systems (IS) approach emerged as a theoretical framework in the industrialized world in the mid nineties to explain innovation and growth in the developed world. This Handbook is the first attempt to adapt the IS approach to developing countries from a theoretical and empirical viewpoint. It brings eminent, well known scholars in economics, innovation and development studies together with promising young researchers to critically discuss the relationship between IS and development and how the concept should be adapted to developing countries.
