Abstract

ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to reflect on the potentialities and limitations of the NIS approach to dealing with development challenges and the role of STI policy in that process. The working thesis is that the approach has conceptual limitations which work against its analytical usefulness to face development challenges, but that it still provides a useful framework for thinking in terms of STI requirements to overcome those challenges. We claim that what the NIS does and what it can do are two equally important sides of the same process of knowledge creation and application at the service of development. We explore the origins and evolution of the NIS approach and the need for a new STI policy framework in the search for conceptual tools to contribute to democratic, sustainable and equitable societies.

国家创新体系可以为发展做些什么?

本文的目的是反思国家信息系统在应对发展挑战方面的潜力和局限性，以及科技创新政策在这一过程中的作用。工作的论点是，这种方法在概念上有局限性，不利于它在面对发展挑战时的分析有效性，但是它仍然提供了一个有用的框架，可以从科学技术创新需求的角度来思考，以克服这些挑战。我们认为，在为发展服务的知识创造和应用过程中，国家信息系统所做的和它能做的是同等重要的两个方面。我们探讨了国家信息系统方法的起源和演变，以及在寻找概念工具以促进民主、可持续和公平社会的过程中，需要一个新的科技创新政策框架。

期刊介绍： conomic development and growth depend as much on social innovations as on technological advances. However, the discourse has often been confined to technological innovations in the industrial sector, with insufficient attention being paid to institutional and organisational change and to the informal sector which in some countries in the South plays a significant role. Innovation and Development is an interdisciplinary journal that adopts a broad approach to the study of innovation, in all sectors of the economy and sections of society, furthering understanding of the multidimensional process of innovation and development. It provides a forum for the discussion of issues pertaining to innovation, development and their interaction, both in the developed and developing world, with the aim of encouraging sustainable and inclusive growth. The journal encourages articles that approach the problem broadly in line with innovation system perspective focusing on the evolutionary and institutional structure of innovation and development. This focus cuts across the disciplines of Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Science and Technology Policy, Geography and Development Practice. In a section entitled Innovation in Practice, the journal includes short reports on innovative experiments with proven development impact with a view to encouraging scholars to undertake systematic inquiries on such experiments. Brief abstracts of degree awarded PhD theses in the broad area of concern for the journal and brief notes which highlight innovative ways of using internet resources and new databases or software are also published.
