New technologies often appear to be beyond the control of any
existing governing systems. This is especially true for
transformative technologies such as information technologies,
biotechnologies and nanotechnologies. Peter Phillips examines in
this book the deep governing structures of transformative
technology and innovation in an effort to identify which actors can
be expected to act when, under what conditions and to what effect.
He analyzes the life cycles of an array of examples where
converging technologies have created transformations and
supervisory challenges. The author begins by providing assessments
of the concepts of transformative technology, innovation, and
related regulatory difficulties. He then evaluates the various
tools commonly used to examine governing systems, including
overarching paradigms for managing transformative innovation and
the models and taxonomies used to investigate governing via the
state, the market, and civil authorities. By applying the
paradigms, tools and methodologies to current transformative
changes, he investigates the challenges of governing in practice:
first, the systems and authorities that define knowledge; second,
the structures that regulate discovery, invention and ingenuity;
third, the public, private and collective processes that engage in
gestating new ideas; and, finally, the distributed governing
networks underlying the production and marketing of new products.
The book concludes with the author's observations on the
implications of using deep governing systems and an appraisal of
the strengths and weaknesses of our tools of analysis. Academic
specialists, practitioners and professionals in the areas of
economics, management, political science, sociology, public policy
and science-technology-society studies will appreciate the author's
broad theoretical approach. The methodological insights will
interest those policymakers working on technological change and
innovation policies in regional, national and international
institutions.
