Innovation has the potential to address a number of development
challenges such as combating poverty and delivering health
services, but all too often technological progress has failed to
consider the needs of the poor, and has actually served to increase
inequalities, rather than sharing out the benefits of new
technologies and economic growth. Inclusive Innovation for
Development outlines a theory of justice in innovation, arguing
that principles of equity, recognition and participation can guide
the direction of contemporary innovation systems towards equalising
social relations in the production of knowledge and innovation, and
meeting the basic needs of the poor. The book first explores why
inclusivity in innovation matters, and how the justice framework
can be used to support inclusive innovation. The book then goes on
to outline a 'needs-based' approach to innovation and development
and explains how its principles can be generated through public
action. Finally, it asks how we can effectively evaluate inclusive
innovation. Drawing on cases from Africa, Latin America and South
Asia, this book theorises innovation and justice in political
terms, arguing that inclusive innovation is not just a practical
necessity but a moral obligation. This book's novel approach to
innovation for development will be useful for upper-level students
and scholars of development studies, politics, and innovation
studies, as well as to local, national and international
policy-makers and practitioners dealing with international
development and inclusive innovation policies and programmes.
