Evolutionary Economics and the New International Political Economy (Science, Technology and the International Political Economy) - Tapa blanda

First published in 1996. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Evolutionary economics focuses on the theory of the firm, organizational behaviour and the role of technological change to reassess in a non-orthodox way the factors which motivate firms and individuals on a national and international level. With the heightened level of economic interaction, modern socio-economies are increasingly being shaped by their trade patterns and their innovation activities. In recent years it has become equally clear that standard neo-classical and fashionable "public choice" approaches to trade and economic growth are incapable of explaining the current "drift" of capitalist economies, or of guiding, in any practical way, the formulation of either publication innovation and trade policies or corporate strategies. The evolutionary approach is gaining currency amongst academics in business and management studies, as it embraces political and philosophical debates about the economy. This text brings together leading authorities in the field to examine and explain in a lucid, clear and authoritative way the changing nature of relations within and between national economies.
