Regional Innovation Policy and Multilevel Governance in Developing Countries- Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Summary: In this podcast, José Guimón provides an overview of how different countries are dealing with regional innovation policy and of the institutions and tools used for national-regional coordination. Drawing on examples from Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia, he will discuss policy implications for developing countries, which have decentralized their innovation policies more recently than developed countries, but face more acute challenges with respect to critical mass and institutional capacity.
