Opis

The political economy of research and innovation (R&I) is one of the central issues of the early 21st century. Responding to this urgency, this handbook presents a pioneering selection of the growing body of literature that has emerged in recent years at the intersection of science & technology studies and political economy.

Recenzje

'Political economy goes all the way down. It saturates every nook and cranny of the production of scientific knowledge, technology, and the endless supply of hi-tech devices, gizmos, and applications. There is nothing pure and simple about any of them as this Handbook incisively demonstrates. They are all sullied. There are always political economic stories to tell, which this book does with historical precision, theoretical verve and persuasive eloquence.' — Trevor Barnes, Professor of Geography, the University of British Columbia, Canada
