Body
?This Handbook is a most helpful guide both for scholars and for experts in charge of innovation policy. It takes a systemic approach, recognising the importance of learning processes including policy learning. It documents the close interaction between analytical work on innovation and the formulation and implementation of innovation policy. The list of authors includes leading experts from Europe and the US, and the topics span from research policy and intellectual property rights to military innovation and technology assessment. The introduction and the final chapter bring together the contributions in a common framework and raise pertinent questions about the role of national innovation policy strategies in relation to globalisation and the current financial crisis.?
