Since the 1980s, two different paradigms have reshaped industrial
societies: the Neoliberal paradigm and a Research and Innovation
paradigm. Both have been conceptualized and translated into strong
policies with massive economic and social consequences. They
provide divergent responses to the environmental transition. The
Neoliberal paradigm is based on economic models and geopolitical
solutions. The Research and Innovation paradigm's goal is to manage
knowledge differently in order to reorient the evolution of
society. Since the mid-1990s, a version of the Research and
Innovation paradigm has led to the design of large-scale research
and innovation policies. This book examines how these policies have
evolved and how they can be extended and reformed to respond to
present and future environmental constraints. It studies the
mutation of the conception, organization and role of science and
technology in the evolution of industrial societies and explores
the future of these developments. The book offers three unique
lines of enquiry. The first is to focus not specifically on
economics, sociology, political science or history, but on
knowledge creation from an institutional and reflexive point of
view. The second is to establish a convergence between the British
school of science and technology studies and the research trends
opened by the work of Michel Foucault. Both introduced
trans-disciplinary and policy-oriented research associating case
studies, long-term perspectives and theory. The third is to
consider climate change as the overwhelming challenge of our time.
The book is an insightful guide for students, scholars and
researchers across the humanities and social sciences, including
philosophy, political science, law, economics, business and media.
