Innovation offers potential: to cure diseases, to better connect
people, and to make the way we live and work more efficient and
enjoyable. At the same time, innovation can fuel inequality,
decimate livelihoods, and harm mental health. This book contends
that inclusive innovation - innovation motivated by environmental
and social aims - is able to uplift the benefits of innovation
while reducing its harms. The book provides accessible engagement
with inclusive innovation happening at the grassroots level through
to policy arenas, with a focus on the South-East Asian region.
Focusing on fundamental questions underpinning innovation, in terms
of how, what and where, it argues that inclusive innovation has
social processes and low-tech solutions as essential means of
driving innovation, and that environmental concerns must be
considered alongside societal aims. The book's understanding of
inclusive innovation posits that marginalized or underrepresented
innovators are empowered to include themselves by solving a problem
that they are experiencing. The first in-depth exploration of
efforts underway to assuage inequality from policy, private sector,
and grassroots perspectives, this book will interest researchers in
the areas of innovation studies, political economy, and development
studies. Chapters 1 and 5 of this book are available for free in
PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at
