4.9/5 (28508 ratings)

Description:Nanotechnology is a generic platform with potential applications in many sectors. It promises to be a motor of economic growth with inclusive development through innovations related to materials, foods, medicines, etc. Both developed and emerging countries have participated in the nanotechnology race, but the importance of this race was understood at different times. The opportunity cost of funds diverted to knowledge base, equipment or scientific and technological capabilities is higher for emerging countries with high poverty. In this context, how should emerging economies attempt to participate in the nanotechnology race? What are the trade-offs between the different possible trajectories for catching-up? This book is an attempt to answer these queries. The book identifies the nature and magnitude of the nanotechnology divide between high-income countries and the rest of the world. It also studies the determinants of the evolution and functioning of state policy and technology clusters in developed regions like the US and the EU in order to identify the strategies that can or cannot be replicated elsewhere. Tracing the trajectories in nanotechnology being carved out by four emerging countries, China, India, Brazil, and Mexico, it identifies common as well as country-specific factors that influence the rates of return to public and private investment related to nanotechnology in emerging countries. The book also makes policy recommendations to bridge the nanotechnology divide while promoting economic growth and inclusive development.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
