| Abstract: | This work attempts to integrate questions posed by research on processes of technological change with that on the relative cohesiveness of national institutional economies, or national systems of innovation. Studying the processes behind the use of biotechnology - genetic engineering to make the pharmaceutical human growth hormone as occured in Sweden and the United Sates - provides a rich comparative study. A historical understanding of specific science-based technologies provides possibilities to adress more general models and theories about the nature of technological change in political economies of nations. |
