The Economics of Industrial Innovation
Technical innovation has moved to center stage in contemporary debates on economic theory and policy, and Chris Freeman and Luc Soete have played a prominent part in these debates. For this new edition of The Economics of Industrial Innovation, they have rewritten all the existing chapters and added ten new ones that address recent advances in theory and in policymaking. In the new chapters they deal with the international dimensions of technical change including underdevelopment, technology transfer, international trade, and globalization. They have also strengthened the historical account of the rise of new technologies, a main feature of earlier editions. They take advantage of their experience on projects for the OECD, the European Union, and industry in other new chapters on The Information Society and on environmental issues, as well as in the updated discussion of science and technology policy.

Chinese Nationalism in the Global Era
The twentieth century has been a century of nationalism in China, beginning with the nationalist revolution of 1911. Drawing on the explosion of writings about nationalism in the Chinese speaking world, this new book highlights the main themes of the Chinese nationalist tradition and shows how they are central to the discourse of Chinese politics and foreign policy today.
The study analyzes trends within Chinese nationalism, explaining the principles behind contemporary debates as they have unfolded since the late 1980s. Presenting a number of perspectives including those of the state and dissent in mainland China, as well as alternative views from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Chinese diaspora, Hughes sets current discussions within the context of the long history of Chinese nationalism.
One of the first systematic treatments of Chinese nationalism in the 1990s, the book provides conceptual insights allowing the reader to grasp the complex weave of Chinese nationalist sentiment...
