The country has produced Ifirst-tier scientists for more than a century. Oswaldo Cruz and Carlos Chagas are early examples. In recent decades, Brazilian scientists, including a growing number of women, have gained significant space among major universities and research centers in Europe and the United States. The number of Brazilians scientists who stand out abroad for their entrepre- neurial capacity has been on the rise. The country has an abundance of academics, business executives and government officials at various levels who are aware of the essential role that technological and innovation policy plays in economic and social pro- gress. They have written extensively about the topic and called attention to the country’s need to invest in innovation by fostering an environment where companies, universities, investors, lawmakers, and regulatory agen- cies work together to increase the efficiency of the economy as well as the value of the national wealth by applying new knowledge in high value production chains, processes and services demanded by the market. Carlos Américo Pacheco, dean of ITA (Technological Institute of Aeronautics) and former executive secretary of the Ministry of Science and Techno- logy, and Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz, scientific director of FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation) and former dean at Unicamp, have been leading participants in this effort, along with University of São Paulo’s so- ciologist Glauco Arbix, current president of FINEP, the federal agency for innovation, and former head of IPEA, Brazil’s federal Institute of Applied Economic Research, in the first government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In 2010, Arbix and his colleagues at USP’s Innovation and Com- petitiveness Observatory carried out a detailed comparative study on the [ 5 ] evolving institutional frameworks of innovation policies and strategies in the United States, France, Finland, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Japan. The study was conducted under the auspices of the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development and amply debated. Therefore, Brazil’s poor performance in innovation is not caused by a lack of knowledge on competitiveness issues or a lack of knowledge of what needs to be done. It is not, therefore, for lack of knowledge of the competitiveness issues or of what needs to be done that Brazil has had a poor performance in innovation. The problem is both cultural and political. Aware of this, the Brazil Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars accepted the challenge posed by Interfarma back in 2010 to organize an- nual missions of Brazilian congressmen interested in studying public po- licies and practices that support and encourage innovation in the United States and Europe. The initiative was built on a series of six seminars the Institute hosted in 2008 and 2009 in partnership with the São Paulo stra- tegic consultancy Prospectiva. The series, held in both Washington, D.C. and São Paulo convened American and Brazilian experts, including Arbix, Pacheco and Brito Cruz. A thorough summary of the lectures and debates – Innovation in Brazil: public policies and business strategies – prepared by the political scientist Ricardo Sennes, a director at Prospectiva, was publi- shed online both in Portuguese and English. Thirty-two house representatives and senators, including majority and minority leaders and presidents of parliamentary committees with juris- diction over areas that are relevant to innovation, have participated in three academic conferences held between 2011 and 2013 at the Wilson Center, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the London King’s College Bra- zil Institute, and the Institute of the Americas, headquartered at the Uni- versity of California San Diego. The State Department received the first mission. Brazilian ambassadors in Washington, Mauro Vieira, and London, Roberto Jaguaribe, hosted the congressmen in their respective official re- sidences, and the consul general in Los Angeles, Bruno Bath, contributed to the work in San Diego. Participating members of the Brazilian Congress attended around forty lectures about the complex array of themes and public policies that affect the innovation policies and strategies on both sides of the Atlantic. Lively [ 6 ] debates followed each session. At the end of the session at MIT in 2012, one of the members of the Brazilian congressional delegation acknow- ledged the value of the mission after hearing an ironic thank you note addressed to the group by MIT’s Anthony Knapp for preparing excellent scientists in its public universities and sending them to Cambridge, Mas- sachusetts, to do applied research that they find little opportunity to do in Brazil. “This discussion has helped us understand our role in Congress to help to create a more appropriate environment for innovation in Brazil.” Another congressman made a revealing comment about the effects of his participation in the first mission. “These talks opened my mind to the complex issues of innovation,” he said during a breakfast with Interfarma’s executive president Antônio Britto. The three parliamentary missions were preceded by seminars for trade journalists and followed by visits to phar- maceutical laboratories of member companies organized by Interfarma. This volume showcases a selection of the lectures, as well as testimo- nials of researchers and entrepreneurial scientists who work in the thri- ving space situated on the border between the two areas that are vital for innovation in the post-industrial world. They contribute to discoveries in universities’ and research centers’ laboratories and the practical application of such knowledge by companies and venture capitalists willing to invest in them to produce solutions for real day-to-day problems and add value to the marketplace. Effects of innovation can be seen in a myriad of devices and applications that resulted from advancements in information techno- logy, the life sciences, and marketing strategies that have been transforming the way people organize their lives, interact, work, and have fun in all cor- ners of an increasingly integrated planet. The volume is organized thematically in three parts. After a histori- cal overview of innovation in the United States by Wilson Center Senior Scholar Kent Hughes, the volume focuses on the various topics of the policy debate in the United States, the United Kingdom, and India. The second part consists of edited transcripts of the sessions held in 2013 at the University of California San Diego, in partnership with the Institute of the Americas. It offers a detailed narrative of the transformation

  • Acre: Entre O Velho E Novo55
    ACRE: ENTRE O VELHO E NOVO 55 ACRE: BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW Raimundo Nonato Cunha de França 56 RESUMO O presente estudo tem como foco a análise da gestão do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) de 1999 a 2002, à frente do Executivo acreano, pois esse Partido tem ocupado, cada vez mais, espaços nas esferas governamentais (municipais e/ou estaduais). Para isso, centramos nossa análise na política implementada na reforma administrativa por ele adotada, na tentativa de identificar que elementos poderiam caracterizar uma ruptura com as formas precedentes de gestão no Acre. Nesse intuito, detivemo-nos na revisão teórica de dois conceitos importantes que atravessam este trabalho: o Modo petista de governar e Governança . A partir disto, iniciamos o trabalho com o levantamento bibliográfico e a pesquisa de campo, com coleta de documentos (Plano de Governo, Plano Plurianual, as Leis de Diretrizes Orçamentárias, Jornais, Leis aprovadas na Assembléia Legislativa, IBGE, PNUD, TSE) e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com personagens da vida política do Acre. A sistematização e análise desses dados revelaram-nos que a forma de governar, introduzida pelo PT no Acre, manteve muitos aspectos de continuísmo da tradição política local. Todavia, a administração petista conseguiu, no âmbito do governo, 129 mudanças relevantes que a distingue das formas pretéritas de governar no Acre, por exemplo, maior participação dos setores subalternos na formulação das políticas públicas. Palavras-chave: Acre, Governança, Partido dos Trabalhadores, Governo Petista INTRODUÇÃO O Acre, como um Estado de base econômica eminentemente rural, com características impressas pela organização de produção extrativista e pecuária (CENSO, 2000), teve sua história política marcada pela exclusão da maior parcela da população, onde a política caracterizou-se como um negócio entre diferentes segmentos de sua elite (FERNANDES FILHO, 1998).

Rede de Pesquisa sobre Política Externa e Política de Defesa entre Argentina e Brasil BRAZIL’S RISE AND DECLINE IN SOUTH AMERICA Miriam Gomes Saraiva Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro [email protected] Resumen/Abstract During the Lula da Silva administration, the Brazilian government has performed to consolidated a regional governance in South America putting renewed effort into building the country’s leadership in the region. Since 2011, when Dilma Rousseff came into power, the Brazilian links with its neighbours has been losing strength, as well as its role as a regional power has been declining. The aim of the paper is to analyse the changes in Brazilian regional strategy of leadership in South American issues, from 2011 onwards. It argues that, although Rousseff is part of the same political party, while the Lula government behaviour focused on building up of Brazilian leadership in the region on several different fronts, the Rousseff administration has behaved differently from its predecessor; the Brazilian efforts to build a leadership in the region would have reached a turning point affecting, therefore, its role as regional power. 2 Since 2003, in a shifting international scenario of increasing fragmentation and following the decline of the liberal world order seen in the 1990s, Brazil has taken assertive action to expand its participation in multilateral forums and debates on global political matters as part of a diplomatic strategy that envisages a reformulation of existing international institutions.

    ESPACE Economies in Space - Working Papers in Economic Geography No. 2008-5 The spatial innovation biography of a commercially successful monoclonal antibody Christian Zeller 20 January 2008 Universität Bern, Institute of Geography, Economic Geography and Regional Studies http://www.geography.unibe.ch/econgeo The spatial innovation biography of a successful monoclonal antibody Christian Zeller Geographisches Institut der Universität Bern Hallerstr. 12 CH-3012 Bern Phone +-31-631 8556 Fax. +41-31-631 85 11 [email protected] Abstract. The paper presents an in-depth analysis of the innovation biography and geography of a commercially successful monoclonal antibody and related technologies. At present, out of about 100 recombinant therapeutics on the market, 21 are monoclonal antibodies. The analysis is based on a conceptual framework that combines elements from sectoral innovation systems and technological systems approaches as well as debates on different knowledge bases. This detailed analysis of one therapeutic agent reveals the participants in the entire innovation process and their locations. Pharmacetical drugs follow a very complex innovation path, from basic research on disease mechanisms, to discovery of the drug candidate, to preclinical and clinical development, manufacturing and approval for market. The paper shows the structure of resource, knowledge and value flows over the course of the entire innovation process, from basic discovery up to the commercialization of the drug. The more the innovation process progresses, the more it is shaped by financial and commercial considerations. Keywords: monoclonal antibodies, biotechnology, innovation systems, knowledge, intellectual property Espace 2008-5 Spatial innovation biography of a successful monoclonal antibody 1. Introduction Much geographical research undertaken on innovation processes in biotechnology suffers from three shortcomings.
