Judith Sutz - Böcker

This 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. Alcázar Quiñones, S. Alzugaray, I. Armas Marrero, R. Arocena, R. Astorga, F. Barletta, M. Bazán, R. Cárdenas, R. Casas, J.E. Cassiolato, C. De Fuentes, G. Dutrénit, G. Figueroa Alfonso, M. Goñi, J. Katz, H. Lastres, M. Lozano-Borda, D. Lucio-Arias, A. Marín, L. Mederos, E. Moreno, J.C. Moreno-Brid, L. Navas-Alemán, J. Niosi, J. Nuñez Jover, J. Orozco, C. Pérez, M. Puchet, S. Robaina, V. Robert, F. Sagasti, M. Salazar, M.C. Soares, D. Suárez, J. Sutz, A. Torres, A.O. Vera-Cruz, G. Yoguel
