'This book is original in its perspective as well as in its
coverage of issues. The author has a good grip both on the
political and economic aspects of innovation policy, which makes it
possible for her to draw out the crucial dilemmas for European
policymakers, as well as the difficulties in finding easy solutions
to these dilemmas. She covers different fields that are normally
not treated in one common context such as knowledge creation,
intellectual property rights, the information society, standard
setting and risk assessment. The truly interdisciplinary approach
and the broad coverage make this volume quite unique.'
*Bengt-Ake Lundvall, Aalborg University, Denmark*
'This book reveals common patterns of change as many, seemingly
unrelated, areas of innovation policy are increasingly conducted at
the European level. The multi-disciplinary approach allows the
subject matter to be analysed with subtlety and depth, and the
result will appeal to specialists and generalists alike. This
represents a major contribution to the innovation policy literature
that combines analytical insight with empirical depth.'
*Paul Nightingale, University of Sussex, UK*
