Description
The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are currently at the crossroads of major structural economic and political changes. This book provides a comparative analysis of the national innovation systems of the five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and the trends in each of their science, technology and innovation policies. It makes use of an analytical framework, the concept ‘systems of innovation and competence building’ developed within ‘Globelics’ (the Global Research Network on the Economics of Learning, Innovation and Capacity Building Systems).
