Focusing on North America, Innovation Systems in a Global Context examines the nature of existing systems of innovation in the United States, Canada, and Mexico; the conceptual questions surrounding the analysis of such systems; trends towards the creation of supranational systems in East Asia, Europe, and North America; and some of the ecological, cultural, economic, and social problems confronting these large-scale systems.
"The topic is very timely and the collection of authors is of high quality. Innovation Systems in a Global Context makes a useful contribution to both scholarly and policy debates." John de la Mothe, Faculty of Administration, University of Ottawa
