Reviews

New technologies have been the main fuel of globalization over the last quarter of a century. This fascinating book shows what the devices have been and, more importantly, how we can work with them to improve human affairs or the welfare of society at large. Professor Daniele Archibugi, Italian National Research Council, Rome One of the best analyses of the interface between globalization and innovatory development ? at both a firm and a country level ? I have read. A well-crafted and closely reasoned monograph which deserves to be widely read by academic scholars and policy makers alike. John H. Dunning, University of Reading A rare fusion of analytical clarity and illustrative readability both for the expert and the layman. Science and Public Policy
