The integration of national economies in a global economic system has become a central feature of contemporary political, social, economic, and cultural life. However, neither the mechanisms nor the consequences of such integration are well understood. In this collection of essays leading scholars utilize the concepts and insights of evolutionary economics to clarify the structure of innovation systems, the relationship innovation systems have to competitiveness and sustainability, and the role played by technological innovations in fostering economic growth and international integration.
