Description
Book SynopsisShows that a comprehensive rethink in science, technology and innovation 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.
