This book uniquely applies the Schumpeterian innovation policy perspective to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). A broadly defined framework of the science, technology, innovation and growth system underpins the empirical and conceptual analysis of the critical issues including demand, FDI, finance and education.Specifically, the expert contributors address the (in)capacity of CEE to play a more significant role in the knowledge-based competitiveness of the EU. They question whether it is possible to bolster this capacity with innovation/technology/industry-specific policies, and discuss the changes required at EU and individual country levels to remove sector and industry specific obstacles to greater competitiveness based on innovation. Policies are analyzed from the perspective of growth, and the conclusions drawn are relevant to education, the labor market and competition policy.This highly original, explicit and systematic study will prove an illuminating read for academics, researchers, students and policy makers focusing on a range of areas including economics, heterodox economics, European studies, technology and innovation. Contributors include: P. Aghion, J. Edler, H. Harmgart, A. Kaderabkova, R. Narula, S. Radosevic, A. Reid, A. Reinstaller, F. Unterlass, N. Weisshaar

‘Overall, this book is successful in achieving its goals. It is theoretically informed and sophisticated, empirically rich, up-to-date, and laced throughout with trenchant economic policy analysis. Taken as whole, the essays in this book go beyond furthering our knowledge about the unique institutional and economic contexts within which innovation occurs in new Member States of the EU and develops a strong theoretical framework with which to discuss innovation policies in countries in transition. Both EU policy-makers and countries in transition seeking to formulate a technology policy to further their economic and industrial development will ﬁnd the insights of this book valuable.’
