country cases exploring the ways in which national science, technology, and innovation polices are evolving in response to globalization. All of the case studies make use of the national
innovation systems (NIS) framework to identify and analyze trends in policy. An overview chapter looks at the region as a whole. Material originated at a 2003 workshop held in Sydney,
Australia, sponsored by the Australian international aid agency, AusAID, and UNESCO. The book will be of interest to policy analysts and practitioners concerned with science, technology, and
innovation policy. It will also appeal to academics and postgraduate students concerned with innovation and industrial development, as well as scholars and practitioners engaged in regional
