Exploring role, actions, and influence of industry associations in politics of health innovation in India
This paper explores the politics related to the development of innovative healthcare technology industries in low-middle-income countries. The focus is on industry associations’ role, influence, and actions in the development of the Indian medical device industry. Our analysis highlights a critical role in shaping the government’s industrial and regulatory policies, promoting entrepreneurship and bridging knowledge gaps between the government and…
Conflict politics at the margins of the neoliberal state in the postcolonial context
Directing innovation towards just outcomes
Contemporary innovation theorists tend to defend a combination of Schumpeterian and Keynesian politics of innovation as a solution to the problem of the directionality of new technologies.Their hope is that the Schumpeterian motor of innovation would keep entrepreneurs incentivised to take market opportunities and the Keynesian state would invest in infrastructure, redistributing risks and rewards.In contrast, Hayekian theorists of innovation ins…
Bridging the Gulf Between Development Theory and Innovation Theory
Phenomena of global development and technological innovation have been approached from two distinct theoretical perspectives. The first is the perspective of long-term social, political, economic, and technological transformations. The second is the perspective of short-term entrepreneurial activity that combines technological forces to create novelty, often destroying old ways of doing things i.e., the so-called ‘creative destruction’. Both stru…
Innovation, value-neutrality and the question of politics
Since the reconstruction of Joseph Schumpeter’s view of innovation as a key factor of capitalist economic development and the neoSchumpeterian formation of national innovation systems theory in the early 1990s, there has been an attempt to approach the emergence of new technological products and processes in evolutionary and institutional terms. However, much of this neoevolutionism has positioned innovation as if it was a value-neutral process o…
Innovation as a political process of development
Technological innovation has been one of the fastest growing areas of economics scholarship and one where history and philosophy have played important roles. Since the reconstruction of Joseph Schumpeter’s view of innovation as a driver of capitalist development and the subsequent formation of the national innovation systems (NIS) theory in the early 1990s that can be described as neo-Schumpeterian, there has been a continuous attempt to explain …
Which inclusive innovation? Competing normative assumptions around social justice
The concept ‘inclusive innovation’ has responded to an increasing realization that capital-intensive innovations have generally resulted in social exclusion, especially for lower income people. Towards alternatives, the literature has competing models of social inclusion – its forms, causes and remedies. These models depend on different normative assumptions about socio-economic in/equity, corresponding to divergent theoretical camps of social ju…
Marx and Sen on incentives and justice
The most crucial obstacle to equitable innovation and development is the tension between profit incentives and social justice. In the egalitarian tradition of social and political thought, there have been a number of theorists preoccupied with this tension. Among them Marx and Sen stand out as the most influential figures. This article evaluates their approaches and examines implications for technological innovation and economic development. The …

How inclusive can innovation and development be in the twenty-first century
Innovation is crucial for development. Addressing twenty-first century developmental challenges requires innovative processes and products, which help in reducing and/or eliminating the gap between rich and poor in the society. Such innovations can meet basic needs of low- and middle-income groups in developing countries, providing them with capabilities to function. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of how inclusive (of people and …
UK Biofuel Policy
Technoscientific innovation has played a central role in UK biofuel policy. When the government was proposing mandatory targets in 2007-08, public controversy over 'unsustainable biofuels' was channelled into prospects for future biofuels to avoid environmental harm and land-use conflicts. This vision serves as an imaginary-a feasible, desirable future. Societal benefits have been envisaged according to specific models of economic competitiveness…
Innovation Priorities for UK Bioenergy
UK bioenergy innovation pathways have been locked into current energy infrastructure through technological expectations, especially the reciprocal requirements of state bodies and industry. Over the past decade UK policy has given bioenergy an increasingly important role for decarbonising the energy system; technoscientific innovation has been expected to expand the range of biomass that can be sustainably converted to energy. Needing industry in…
Path-Dependent UK Bioenergy
The rise of renewable energy has generated tensions over its means and ends. Civil society groups have been promoting decentralisation of energy production, greater community control over resources and equitable access. Renewable energy has been seen as a special opportunity due its spatially distributed sources, for example, wind, sun, biomass, etc. In response to such proposals, energy decentralisation has been linked with renewable energy sour…
Divergent Paradigms of European Agro-Food Innovation
The Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) has gained prominence as an agricultural R&D agenda of the European Union. Specific research policies are justified as necessary to create a KBBE for societal progress. Playing the role of a master narrative, the KBBE attracts rival visions; each favours a different diagnosis of unsustainable agriculture and its remedies in agro-food innovation. Each vision links a technoscientific paradigm with a quality pa…
New life sciences innovation and distributive justice
The successful decoding of human genome and subsequent advances in new life sciences innovation create technological presuppositions of a new possibility of justice i.e. the just distribution of both social (income, wealth, etc.) and natural (rationality, intelligence, etc.) goods. Although Rawlsians attempt to expand their theory to include this new possibility, they fail to provide plausible metrics of social justice in the genomics and post-ge…
The Methodological Formation of Hayek’s Moral Dimension
The anti-rationalist concept of morality and its epistemological foundation is the basis on which the moral dimension of Hayek’s theory is developed. This dimension consists of the ideas of social spontaneity and cultural evolution. In the preceding chapter it has been argued that the positivist ‘demonstration’ of the natural limits of the human mind provides the ‘objective’ basis upon which the Hayekian ‘Moral Imperative’ is founded. That ‘Moral…
The Epistemological Foundation of Hayek’s Anti-rationalist Concept of Morality
The moral and political philosophy of Hayek is based on his epistemological achievements. As many thinkers acknowledge, 1 his entire research effort is concerned with an investigation of the nature of human knowledge and its relation to society. In the preceding chapter it has been shown that, in his early years at the University of Vienna, Hayek was influenced by the philosophies of Mach, Wittgenstein, the Vienna Circle, Windelband, Rickert and …
The Order of Catallaxy, Commutative Justice, the Minimal State and the Great Society
The methodological formation of social spontaneity and cultural evolution has implications for Hayek’s theory of the moral market, justice, the state and society. In the preceding chapter it has been shown that the parallel which Hayek draws between his scientific and his moral argument is epistemologically based. Due to this parallel, the ideas of social spontaneity and cultural evolution are developed as two methodological and moral models. It …
The Context and the Intellectual Background of Hayek’s Political Theory
F. A. Hayek’s death in the city of Freiburg on the 23 March 1992 is regarded by many students and proponents of his work as a symbolic moment; it is explicitly or implicitly linked with the abandonment of Marxism and socialism as intellectual ideals and the political triumph of liberalism at the dawn of the 21st century (Glasner, 1992, p. 48; Papaioannou, 2003, p. 230; Feser, 2006a, p. 1). Such a symbolism however, is mainly due to the fact that …
Conclusions
We have come to the end of a long journey that has taken us from Hayek’s historical context and intellectual background to his political and economic theory. During this journey, I have tried to reconstruct the moral dimension of Hayek’s theory from the point of view of its epistemological foundation and methodological formation. My aim has been to provide an ‘immanent’ critique, showing that it excludes but also requires substantive politics. I …
Reading Hayek in the 21st Century
This book offers a new radical reading of Hayek in the 21st century. It investigates the moral dimension of his political theory, arguing that it is based on the methodological implications of an epistemologically founded concept of morality. This concept is about the recognition and respect of the natural limits of human knowledge. The moral dimension of Hayek's theory consists of the process of spontaneity and evolution. This process excludes b…
Democratic governance of genomics
Biobanks are collections of human biological tissue used for genomics research. This promises a better understanding of the gene-based contribution to common disease and development of a more personalized approach to healthcare with safer drugs and more effective treatment. However, biobanks are also controversial owing to the ethical, legal, social and political issues raised about their collection and use of biological samples. Therefore, their…
EU agri-innovation policy
The knowledge-based bio-economy has gained prominence as a research and innovation policy of the European Union. As a policy framework the knowledge-based bio-economy has attracted two contending visions, which can be analyzed as imaginaries – strategic discourses prefiguring a possible, desirable future. In the dominant vision, life sciences will enhance productivity for European competitive advantage in global value chains. A rival vision links…
State imaginaries of the public good
From consultation to deliberation? A qualitative case study of governing science and technology projects for the public good
The concept of ‘public consultation’ and the idea of ‘democratic deliberation’ describe different forms of engagement of various citizens and stakeholders in the governance of science and technology projects (STPs). On the one hand, public consultation is concerned with enhancing the quality of decisions through public understanding of a complex STP. On the other hand, democratic deliberation is concerned with taking quality decisions through com…

Technological innovation, global justice and politics of development
The importance of innovation in human development is undeniable. Since the 1780s, successive scientific and technological revolutions have introduced new products and services with tremendous impact on well-being and general welfare. Yet innovation has not been available to all individuals and their societies. There are still countries in the developing world which lack proper access to fundamental innovations such as medicines, electricity, info…

Towards a critique of the moral foundations of intellectual property rights1
Research in recent history has neglected to address the moral foundations of particular kinds of public policy such as the protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs). On the one hand, nation-states have enforced a tightening of the IPR system. On the other, only recently have national government and international institutions recognised that the moral justification for stronger IPRs protection is far from being plausible and cannot be take…
Nozick Revisited
Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia is still influential today among right-wing (neo-)libertarian thinkers. The latter are engaged in the current debate on distributive justice, insistently defending the minimal state and the case against social justice on the grounds of inviolable individual rights. The premises of their defense are explicitly derived from Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Therefore, if one is interested in challenging the right-wing …
Market Order and Justice in Hayek's Political Theory
The article approaches Hayek's ideas on the market and procedural justice through his epistemology and methodology, providing an immanent critique of these ideas. It argues that the concept of the market as a catallaxy and the idea of justice as a system of general rules of conduct reflect a moral dimension that excludes but also requires substantive politics. The latter is a kind of politics that pursues goals which are formed through a normativ…

Sustainable Capital? The Neoliberalization of Nature and Knowledge in the European “Knowledge-based Bio-economy”
As an EU policy agenda, the “knowledge-based bio-economy” (KBBE) emphasizes bio-technoscience as the means to reconcile environmental and economic sustainability. This frames the sustainability problem as an inefficiency to be overcome through a techno-knowledge fix. Here ecological sustainability means a benign eco-efficient productivity using resources which are renewable, reproducible and therefore sustainable. The KBBE narrative has been elab…
