‘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.’
