Recenzii

'Almost all countries aspire to become 'knowledge economies' or 'knowledge societies.' The terms are frequently used interchangeably by politicians. This book explains why the terms are quite different, and why this difference has profound implications for the future role of universities in all countries throughout the world. The issues raised are of fundamental importance and the chapters in this book contribute in a masterly way to the much needed debate on the role of knowledge in society' - Geoffrey Oldham CBE, Former Director, the Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex, and Chair of Trustees, the Science and Development Network
