This underappreciated fact demonstrates that independent capabilities in frontier sciences in the South contributed fundamentally to global efforts to minimise the human cost of the pandemic. However, while the more efficient vaccines primarily emerged from research and development (R&D)-based capabilities in the Global North, some novel vaccines, secondary innovation in the form of manufacturing and the innovative deployment of preventive measures were also salient in the Global South. Thus, rather than starting with the ‘deficit model of development’ that is implicit in several policy discourses on the Global South, we argue that innovation concepts should instead be anchored in the rich civilisational heritage of such societies themselves. Theoretical notions such as secondary innovation, which emerged from Chinese efforts at economic catch-up, endogenous development, which seeks to ground Africa’s advancement in its own historical antecedents, and grassroots innovation from the Indian subcontinent, guide our South–South dialogical exchange in this article. Consequently, we propose a contextually rooted conceptual framework on endogenous innovation that could better inform socially transformative efforts and highlight some implications for medicinal innovation and astronomy beyond COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":45432,"journal":{"name":"Science Technology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74225250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This crisis has been framed unlike any other in modern memory (Schwab & Malleret, 2020). The virus was initially thought to be a mild outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 but soon spread to 216 countries (Ke & Hsiao, 2021). The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Covid dashboard indicated 540,923,532 confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of June 27, 2022, resulting in 6,325,785 deaths globally. WHO declared the virus a global health emergency as it quickly moved beyond China. The United Nations Secretary—General Antonio Guterres stated that the pandemic is responsible for the largest economic catastrophe and highest unemployment since the Great Depression; COVID-19 has also endangered human rights (Ke & Hsiao, 2021). Yet, these circumstances are not exactly unprecedented. Jordà et al. (2020) investigated pandemics dating back to the 14th century and identified considerable negative macroeconomic repercussions as outbreaks persisted for decades. Some economists have conten-ded that this pandemic will lead to severe economic crises (Gans, 2020) as well. Subsequent studies (e.g., Jordà et al., 2020) similarly suggested that COVID-19 will have enduring consequences on the world’s economy, such as considerably lower return rates, with no nation escaping untouched. Susskind and Vines (2020) pointed out that this pandemic has triggered the most severe global economic consequences since the South Sea Bubble burst in 1720. Indeed, a World Bank analysis showed that COVID-19 caused economic activity to fall in nearly 90% of countries in 2020—exceeding the proportion of nations that saw similar declines during the Great Depression in the 1930s and the two world wars combined.

While it has confirmed the fundamental importance of science and technology in coping with a major global challenge, it has also shown its limitations and the importance of institutions and organisational capabilities. While the crisis has demonstrated the necessity to build stronger national innovation systems (NSI) in the South, it has also simultaneously shown the need to go beyond national governance and move in the direction of a global innovation system. The COVID-19 crisis has reinforced new trends in technology and in global competition that challenge innovation system theory and innovation policy. The crisis stimulated the application and development of artificial intelligence and accelerated the concentration of intellectual capital in a handful of tech giants located in the US and China. While the volume of trade in digital services kept growing, there was a dramatic fall in the volume of global value chain trade in tangibles. These developments intensified the China-US rivalry and undermined transnational collaborations in science and technology. Countries in the South aiming at building stronger national innovation systems need to do so under new circumstances, where artificial intelligence is emerging as a strategic technology, where intellectual monopolies harvest data worldwide, where great powers are engaged in technological rivalry, and where linking up with global value chains for tangibles has become less of an option. One implication is that the issue of scale has become more critical than before; groupings of small and medium-sized countries need to integrate economically and politically in order to develop crucial digital capabilities and competitiveness. Such moves in the direction of forming transnational innovation systems are consonant with strategies to cope with global challenges.","PeriodicalId":45432,"journal":{"name":"Science Technology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86256599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we systematically evaluate China’s digital economy based on regional data experience and construct a nonlinear dynamic threshold model to incorporate a heterogeneous threshold of green technology innovation into the influential mechanism to figure out whether the digital economy can effectively reduce regional carbon emissions. According to the results, China’s digital economy currently shows a trend of overall upward and local fluctuation and there is a large ‘gap’ between the rich and poor. Interestingly, green technology innovation has a heterogeneous threshold effect between the digital economy and carbon emissions: a lesser level of green technology innovation promotes the carbon emission impact of the digital economy to a certain extent, but when green technology innovation rises and exceeds a threshold, the digital economy can dramatically inhibit regional carbon emissions. This study answers the question of how to use the threshold effect of green technology innovation to reduce carbon emissions in the digital economy, which has significant theoretical and practical value to reduce carbon emissions in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":45432,"journal":{"name":"Science Technology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82023927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
