Countries around the world are working to counter the devastating
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their healthcare systems, their
economies and industries. This book brings together strategies for
the adoption of new technologies and innovation systems which would
help re-invigorate social and economic institutions and help
communities, especially in the Global South. The book focuses on
innovation systems that address health and socio-economic
inequalities in countries such as India, Africa, Brazil, Costa Rica
and others. It looks into the responses of different countries to
the shocks inflicted on the economy and health systems by the
pandemic from the perspective of government institutions as well as
businesses, industries and communities. The pandemic forced many
organisations to embrace various innovative strategies to contain
the spread of COVID-19 and ameliorate the lives of people including
employees, people from marginalised communities and low-income
groups who have suffered due to the disease. The essays in this
book study innovative interventions and community-based measures
which reached many people and paved the way for policies which
helped rebuild communities sustainably. The volume also analyses
how these newly created and streamlined health and economic
innovation systems will be carried forward in the post-COVID-19
world to address weaknesses in health and governance and address
inequalities, especially for countries in the global south. This
book will be of interest to scholars and students of economics,
political economy, health and economics, development studies,
public policy and sociology.

The innovation systems (IS) approach emerged as a theoretical
framework in the industrialized world in the mid-1990s to explain
innovation and growth in the developed world. This Handbook is the
first attempt to adapt the IS approach to developing countries from
a theoretical and empirical viewpoint. The Handbook brings eminent
scholars in economics, innovation and development studies together
with promising young researchers to review the literature and push
theoretical boundaries. They critically review the IS approach and
its adequacy for developing countries, discuss the relationship
between IS and development, and address the question of how it
should be adapted to the realities of developing nations. Spanning
national, sectoral and regional innovation systems across Asia,
Latin America and Africa, and written by the world's leading
scholars within the field, this comprehensive Handbook will
strongly appeal to academics, researchers and students with an
interest in innovation and technology in developing countries.
This book provides a detailed examination of the impact of
globalisation on plantation labour, dominated by women labour, in
India. The studies presented here highlight the perpetuation of low
wages, inferior social status and low human development of workers
in this sector and point out the movement of labour away from this
sector and the resultant labour shortage. It also highlights the
perils involved in doing away with the Plantation Labour Act 1951
and provides a plausible way forward for improving the conditions
of plantation workers. Rich in empirical analysis, this volume will
prove essential for scholars and researchers of labour economics,
development studies, gender studies and sociology.
