Include papers dealing with topics as diverse as appropriate technology, industrial ecology, globalisation and the democratic management of innovation. It will cover knowledge generation, diffusion and uptake and actors in academia, the public and the private sectors, plus issues arising from civil society and hybrid organisations, on such matters as intellectual property rights, investment and educational policy. Papers with a critical perspective are especially encouraged, as are contributions from those whose "local knowledge" can stimulate thinking around the world.
