The search for the key to economic growth has proved elusive and
contentious. This book uses new empirical evidence to propose an
integrated approach for achieving strong industrial and
technological capabilities to form the basis for regional and
national economic development.The authors use the experiences of
countries in Europe and Latin America to show that socio-technical
constituencies play a fundamental role in innovation based economic
development at both a regional and national level. By blending
insights from the industrial cluster and national innovation system
approaches with the socio-technical constituencies approach, the
authors successfully integrate long standing debates such as agency
structure and micro-meso-macro analysis. The work is based both on
a theoretical effort to build a new framework for economic growth,
and on a number of concrete experiences from a number of countries
in Europe and Latin America. Knowledge Flows in National Systems of
Innovation will prove essential reading for scholars of innovation,
technology and economic development.
