Description
Inclusive Innovation for Development: A Theory of Justice in Innovation Systems. This book explores how principles of equity, recognition and participation can guide innovation systems towards equalising social relations and meeting the basic needs of the poor. Drawing on cases from Africa, Latin America and South Asia, Theo Papaioannou argues that inclusive innovation is not just a practical necessity but a moral obligation. The book outlines a 'needs-based' approach to innovation and development, explaining how its principles can be generated through public action. Useful for upper-level students and scholars of development studies, politics, and innovation studies, as well as policy-makers and practitioners dealing with international development and inclusive innovation policies and programmes.
