  • The Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno-Globalism: a Historical Perspective
    New Global Studies Volume 1, Issue 1 2007 Article 1 The Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno-Globalism: A Historical Perspective David E.H. Edgerton, Hans Rausing Professor of Science and Technology, Imperial College, London Recommended Citation: Edgerton, David E.H. (2007) "The Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno- Globalism: A Historical Perspective," New Global Studies: Vol. 1: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1940-0004.1013 ©2007 New Global Studies. All rights reserved. The Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno-Globalism: A Historical Perspective David E.H. Edgerton Abstract Techno-nationalism and techno-globalism are descriptive and prescriptive categories for understanding the impact of technology on society and vice versa. They reflect the underlying assumptions made by analysts of the place of technology in the world, and denote ideologies, rather than technological policies or realities. They also help us to realize that standard accounts of the nation and globalization are not as securely based as they appear. Indeed, nations and states are important in ways techno-nationalism does not capture, and the international and global dimension is crucial in ways which that techno-globalism overlooks. Yet an analysis of both terms yields building blocks to a more sophisticated appreciation of the linkages between the nation, technological innovation and globalization. KEYWORDS: techno-globalism, techno-nationalism, technology Author Notes: David E.H. Edgerton is the Hans Rausing Professor of History of Science at the Technology Imperial College, London. Edgerton: Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno-Globalism In this article I distinguish two approaches, which I label techno- nationalism and techno-globalism, to the study of technology and society at macro-level.

  • Cosmopolitan Democracy: Paths and Agents Daniele Archibugi and David Held
    1 Cosmopolitan Democracy: Paths and Agents Daniele Archibugi and David Held Twenty years after When at the end of the Cold War and at the beginning of a new wave of democratization we suggested the idea of a cosmopolitan democracy (Archibugi and Held, 1995; Held, 1995), we were aware that we were pouring old wine into new bottles. The attempt to make world politics more transparent, more accountable, more participatory and more respectful of the rule of law had pioneers spanning from Immanuel Kant to Richard Falk. Still, the idea that ‘democracy’ as a concept and a practice could and should be applied beyond nation states was some- how innovative. If we read the international relations textbooks prior to 1989, we may be surprised to note that many of them do not even contain the word ‘democracy’. When the word appears, it is generally in reference to the internal political system of states and certainly not in relation to the possibility of subjugating world politics to democratic rules. Even international organizations (IOs) were mostly seen as purely inter- governmental bodies and the prospect of making them more democratic was not contemplated. The European Union, the first IO composed exclusively by democratic regimes and with some germs of democratic norms in its modus operandi, was mostly discussed in relation to the lim- its it imposed on its member countries rather than in terms of its ability to deal publicly with transnational issues. The state of the art was not very different in the realm of democratic theory. Most of the textbooks dedicated to democracy, including the first edition of the work of one of us (Held, 1987), did not contain any reference to the problem of democ- racy beyond borders.

The ‘Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights’ (TRIPS), signed on 1994 as a founding element of the World Trade Organization, represent the most important attempt to establish a global harmonization of Intellectual Property protection. The aim of this paper is to critically re-examine what has become the common wisdom around IPRs, TRIPS and their effects. We argue that supporters of IPRs in the Western corporations and governments as well as detractors in global movements and developing countries have both over- estimated their importance in the process of generation and diffusion of knowledge and innovation. On the basis of some key learnt lessons on the nature of innovation and technological change, we assess four theses about TRIPS and their impact on the global generation and distribution of knowledge. The policy implications concerning international organizations and technological transfer are finally discussed. 1 THE GLOBALIZATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS : FOUR LEARNT LESSONS AND FOUR THESES BULLETPOINTS For Summary • Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) have emerged as the key issue of global innovation policy: through the ‘Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights agreement’ (TRIPS), there is an attempt to impose worldwide a Western system of IPRs.

  • Cosmopolitan Democracy As Global Governance” by Chuck Rosenberg
    Note on “Cosmopolitan Democracy as Global Governance” by Chuck Rosenberg One of our study circle participants in New York, who is mother to a very aware 20-something and den-mother to several more, mentioned to them that she was looking deeply into One World and cosmopolitanism and global governance. Their response was, “Oh, great. The Davos crowd will run the world.” And of course that is a key objection, or at least grounds for skepticism, from many quarters…fear of an all-powerful supranational entity that will be in charge of everything, “for everyone’s good”. It need not be that way, but the shape of democratic global governance remains vague…how would full participation be attained? Would the ultimate solution supplant or augment existing instruments such as states or intergovernmental bodies? How do we get from where we are, with powerful nation-states dominating global decision-making and controlling the lion’s share of the world’s resources, to a peaceful, sustainable, and just future that puts the needs of all of the world’s citizens first? There are a group of thinkers who are working through this very problem—they include, notably but not only, Mary Kaldor, David Held, Richard Falk, and Daniele Archibugi. Of these, Archibugi is perhaps first among peers in developing the kind of analysis and advocating for the kind of incremental but substantive actions that would move us along the path toward a genuinely democratic system of global governance. Daniele Archibugi (Rome, 1958), an Italian social scientist, works on the economics and policy of technological change and on the political theory of international relations.

DESCRIPTORS Economic Factors; Elementary Secondary Education; *Knowledge Representation; *Learning Experience; Models; Public Schools; *Research Utilization; *Skills; *Social Values ABSTRACT This book focuses on understanding knowledge and learningin the contexts of economic development and social cohesion. Apreliminary overview is presented of the knowledge processes at workin different sectors, and the book identifies a number of waysin which microlevel or sectoral understanding of the knowledge-based economyis important in conjunction with more macrolevel insights. These insights arevaluable for government, economic sectors, and public and privateenterprises and institutions as they seek to improve their knowledge andlearning performance; this performance is an increasingly importantfunction in a learning society. Special attention is given to improvingproduction, mediation, and use in the education sector. The analyses arederived from four forums that consist of high-level participantsfrom the private sector, policymakers, academics from a wide range of disciplines, andauthorities in health and education research--all of whom work on issuesand problems related to how knowledge and learning will become keydrivers of social and economic change in the 21st century.

What is the Study About? http://icc.oxfordjournals.org In this essay I will describe a large comparative study of national innovation systems that has just been completed, tell something of what motivated the study and how it was organized and undertaken, and highlight some of the more interesting findings. This is a difficult task, for the project was not only large but also complex. The heart of the project consisted of studies of 15 countries, including all of the prominent large market oriented industrialized ones, several smaller high income countries, and a number of newly industrializing states. The studies were carefully designed, developed, and written to illuminate the at University of Manchester on June 24, 2010 institutions and mechanisms supporting technical innovation in the various countries, the similarities and differences across countries and how these came to be, and to permit at least preliminary discussion of how the differences seemed to matter. No other project has come remotely close to g treating the range of countries considered here.
