This book presents Latin America's innovation systems in a new
theoretical and political light. The focus is upon how innovation
processes can become inclusive; a major challenge for the
non-egalitarian Latin American countries. The analytical framework
combines Amartya Sen's capacity approach with a knowledge economics
perspective. One major conclusion is that there is a need for
ambitious public policy initiatives aiming explicitly at
inclusiveness. The book offers a new perspective on innovation
systems and innovation policy and it is of interest for innovation
scholars as well as for policy makers responsible for the design of
development strategies in emerging economies.' - Bengt-Ake
Lundvall, Aalborg University, DenmarkThis unique book brings
together new perspectives on inclusive development and the kinds of
science, technology and innovation that can foster this form of
development. The individual contributions provide distinct yet
interrelated reflections on the diverse experiences of Latin
American countries. Their common framework is determined by the
assumption that economic growth, even if sustained for some time
and accompanied by restorative social policies, is not always able
to address inequality, a hallmark of inclusive development.
Offering insights into the theoretical and empirical aspects of
national innovation systems, this will be an extremely valuable
resource for all academics and students involved with development
and innovation studies. Contributors include: A. Alcazar Quinones,
S. Alzugaray, I. Armas Marrero, R. Arocena, R. Astorga, F.

This book analyzes the current trends in the production,
dissemination, and use of knowledge which contribute to social
inequalities, especially in the Global South. The aim of the text
is to explore the possibilities of active involvement by
universities in the democratization of knowledge - a process by
which people will be able to more easily acquire and utilize
knowledge, as well as the results and benefits of research and
development. Combining higher education, research, and knowledge
utilization is what universities should be doing. When they
efficiently contribute to overcoming inequality and
underdevelopment, they may be considered developmental
universities. They should not function in solitude with privileged
elites alone, but in the context of "inclusive innovation systems."
