“The book is a timely counterpoint to the concerns of the 1990s and the rising din of economic nationalism. … Innovation in emerging markets breaks new ground by expanding the discourse on international trade by highlighting the positive-sum nature of innovation. It is an antidote to technological pessimism and economic nationalism.” (Calestous Juma, International Affairs, Vol. 93 (3), 2017)
