The BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South
Africa - are currently at the crossroads of major structural
economic and political changes. This book provides a comparative
analysis of the national innovation systems of the five BRICS
countries and the trends in each of their science, technology and
innovation policies. The BRICS Project was a workshop launched as
part of the Globelics Scientific Committee, a global research
network on the economics of learning, innovation and competence.
The BRICS Project identifies and analyses development
opportunities; highlights common characteristics and challenges of
the BRICS countries; and helps to uncover possible paths to fulfil
the BRICS countries' socio-political and economic development
potential. The BRICS Project also reveals development alternatives
that contain the potential to help both developed and
underdeveloped countries to overcome the problems brought by 'an
exhausted production and consumption system and a malignant
regulatory and financial regime'. The collected research and
workshop papers are now available in BRICS and Development
Alternatives, an invaluable contribution to the understanding of
the rise of these new emerging science and technology (S&T)
powers and to improving evidence-based S&T policymaking with
regard to these countries.
