Abstract

Salazar M. and Holbrook A. (2007) Canadian science, technology and innovation policy: the product of regional networking?, Regional Studies 41, 1129-1141. The structure of federal countries poses challenges to science, technology and innovation (STI) policy-making and regional development not found in centrally governed nations. This paper tests the thesis that Canadian STI policy is highly regionalized in practice because of its networked structure, despite most of the funding coming from the federal government, which formulates most STI policies and programmes. Many of Canada's STI programmes promote the creation of networks. These networks are part of the federal emphasis given to provincial/regional economic development and more recently to industrial cluster promotion. Salazar M. et Holbrook A. (2007) La politique de STI au Canada: est-ce un produit de la constitution de reseaux regionaux?, Regional Studies 41, 1129-1141. La structure des pays federaux presente un challenge a la politique de science, de technologie et d'innovation (STI) et a l'amenagement du territoire, ce qui n'est pas le cas dans les pays centralises. On cherche a evaluer la these sur la forte regionalisation de la politique de STI au Canada en pratique a cause de sa structure en reseau, malgre que la plupart du financement provienne du gouvernement federal, qui elabore egalement des politiques et des programmes. Au Canada, beaucoup des programmes de STI favorisent la creation de reseaux. Ces reseaux constituent en partie le point de mire federal quant au developpement provincial et regional et, plus recemment, pour ce qui est de la promotion des grappes industrielles.

(2007) Politik fur Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation in Kanada: das Produkt regionaler Netzwerke?, Regional Studies 41, 1129-1141. Die Struktur der Bundeslander stellt die Politik fur Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation und die Regionalentwicklung vor Herausforderungen, die sich in zentral regierten Nationen nicht ergeben. Wir schlagen eine Uberprufung der These vor, dass die Politik fur Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation in Kanada in der Praxis aufgrund seiner Netzwerkstruktur hochgradig regionalisiert ist, obwohl der Grossteil der Finanzierung durch die Bundesregierung erfolgt, welche auch die Politiken und Programmeme formuliert. Viele der kanadischen Programmeme fur Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation fordern die Entwicklung von Netzwerken. Diese Netzwerke sind Bestandteil des foderalen Schwerpunkts, den die Wirtschaftsentwicklung in den Provinzen und Regionen und seit einiger Zeit auch die Forderung industrieller Ballungsraume aufweist.

(2007) La politica de ciencia, tecnologia e innovacion de Canada: ¿es producto de redes regionales?, Regional Studies 41, 1129-1141. La estructura de los paises federales presenta retos para la formulacion de politica en ciencia, tecnologia e innovacion (CTI), y para el desarrollo regional, no encontrados en naciones con gobiernos centralizados. En este articulo ponemos a preuba la tesis de que la politica canadiense en CTI es altamente regionalizada en la practica, por su estructura en red, a pesar de que la mayor parte del financimiento proviene del gobierno federal, quien tambien formula las politicas y programas. Muchos de los programas canadienses en CTI promueven la creacion de redes. Estas redes son parte del enfasis federal asignado al desarrollo economico provincial/regional y, mas recientemente, a la promocion de clusters industriales.
