Rural innovation systems 'tourist guide'

The UNU LINK network just released a new document - a Tourist Guide to Systems Studies of Rural Innovation.

The report aims to provide an overview of the global groups of researchers — and to a lesser extent practitioners — working with systems perspectives on rural innovation. It identifies the main themes that are emerging from this area of scholarship and provides an annotated bibliography of recent writing on these themes.

Among the topics covered:

• Social Learning and Communication
• Local Innovation Processes
• Innovation Systems
• Institutional Learning and Change
• Market Systems and Innovation
• Science and Society
