Description
This title was first published in 2003.During the 1990s research and technological development policies moved from a 'problem-solving' approach towards a wider one focusing on the systemic nature of the innovation process. This change can be featured as the transition from a technology policy towards an innovation policy. 'Innovation Policies in Europe and the US: The New Agenda' provides a comparative analysis of eleven highly industrialized countries' innovation policies in the 1990s, and addresses the nature, dynamics, causes and effects of this transition. By combining the analytical skills of sociologists, economists and political scientists the book sets up a novel framework for studying the evolution of this particular policy area by examining institutional change from a broader perspective.

Reviews
'Biegelbauer and Borras provide a particularly worthwhile and insightful overview of the shift in science and technology policy towards innovation in a number of Western countries. The various cases written by leading scholars in the field are invaluable in providing a detailed account of the policy shift which took place over the nineties in each of these countries. A must for readers interested in the shifting boundaries of science, technology and innovation policy.' Professor Luc Soete, Maastricht University, The Netherlands 'This book brings a new, important, input into the process of international policy learning and its characterization of innovation policy as constituted by the promotion of policy co-ordination, learning and knowledge appropriation, functional flexibility and organizational change is very much to the point. I strongly recommend readers to study carefully the different cases presented in this book.' Professor Bengt-A...ke Lundvall, Aalborg University, Denmark
