Book Description

Publication Date: October 1999

The essays in this book examine the structures and behaviour of innovation systems. The integration of national economies in a global economic system has become a central feature of contemporary political, social, economic and cultural life. However, the mechanisms of such integration are not well understood. In this collection of essays, scholars in the area of evolutionary economics clarify the structure of innovation systems and discuss the role played by technological innovation in fostering economic growth and international integration.
