The political economy of research and innovation (R&I) is one
of the central issues of the early twenty-first century. 'Science'
and 'innovation' are increasingly tasked with driving and reshaping
a troubled global economy while also tackling multiple, overlapping
global challenges, such as climate change or food security, global
pandemics or energy security. But responding to these demands is
made more complicated because R&I themselves are changing.
Today, new global patterns of R&I are transforming the very
structures, institutions and processes of science and innovation,
and with it their claims about desirable futures. Our understanding
of R&I needs to change accordingly. Responding to this new
urgency and uncertainty, this handbook presents a pioneering
selection of the growing body of literature that has emerged in
recent years at the intersection of science and technology studies
and political economy. The central task for this research has been
to expose important but consequential misconceptions about the
political economy of R&I and to build more insightful
approaches. This volume therefore explores the complex
interrelations between R&I (both in general and in specific
fields) and political economies across a number of key dimensions
from health to environment, and universities to the military. The
Routledge Handbook of the Political Economy of Science offers a
unique collection of texts across a range of issues in this
burgeoning and important field from a global selection of top
scholars. The handbook is essential reading for students interested
in the political economy of science, technology and innovation. It
also presents succinct and insightful summaries of the state of the
art for more advanced scholars.
