Scientists, institutions and the social nature of international collaboration
International scientific collaboration is widely considered a driver of innovation. However, the social processes through which this can occur are complex. It is not only scientists that have a direct interest in international collaboration; but also the institutions or firms that employ them and the governments whose policies are designed to promote collaboration. This article seeks to reveal the social dynamics underpinning this process. Drawin…
Research collaboration in the social sciences
Attention is increasingly directed toward better understanding the factors driving collaborations among researchers, particularly between researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds. This study investigates factors associated with disciplinary and interdisciplinary research collaboration in the social sciences. We utilize data from a survey of Australian-based social scientists. Interdisciplinary collaboration constitutes a considerable p…
Parallel innovation policies to support firms with heterogeneous innovation capabilities in developing economies
Recent research in understanding innovation policy practice in developing economies has revealed the need for different analytical perspectives. In considering the parallel presence of firms with highly diverse levels of innovation capabilities in developing economies, policy-makers must be keenly aware of the heterogeneous technological requirements of these firms. An analysis of the national innovation system of Sri Lanka reveals the presence o…
Globalisation and the Changing Functions of Australian Universities
In this brief review we show how the functions of Australian universities – teaching, research and enterprise and community engagement – have changed dramatically over the last two decades or so. We focus on three aspects of change: globalisation and international engagement; marketisation and competition, especially in overseas student recruitment and in collaborative research; and the entrepreneurial response by universities. Marketisation, glo…
The Social Dynamics Underpinning Telecentres in Nepal
This article offers a conceptual analysis of two aspects of openness: extended feedback and absorptive capacity in the context of a developing country national innovation system. Extended feedback is defined as the capacity of national agencies, responsible for telecentre development, to learn and share learning about the practices, ideas and information demands of people using their telecentres. This allows for a greater diffusion of knowledge a…
Cultures in collision
Scientists across the Boundaries
Globalization of higher education, finance and industrial production has contributed to the internationalization of scientific and technical human capital (STHC). STHC is generated by and includes research and development (R&D) personnel, but also includes the knowledge, know-how and learning capacity embedded in their knowledge networks. As science and technology (S&T) personnel develop their careers and networks, they draw upon and contribute t…
Conduits of Knowledge in the Asia Pacific
The global demand for scientists and engineers has increased the imperative for large transnational firms, cities, and nations to train, attract and retain highly skilled scientific personnel. Scientists move in and out of many laboratories, cities and countries through their training, careers and occupational activities. In doing so, they create research networks (dispersed knowledge networks). These networks endure long after they have moved on…
Technology Transfer and IPR Policy for Small and Medium Firms in South‐East Asia 1
In theory, small and medium firms have much to gain from the intellectual property rights system: in practice, SMEs have trouble using the IPR system. Yet the developing world is encouraged by the developed to look to IPR to make its SMEs more innovative and hence competitive. If SMEs are to make effective use of IPR, it must be within their existing business strategy. For them, copying may be a more appropriate and successful form of technology …

S&T Reform in Mongolia
S&T Reform in Mongolia
Mongolia has undergone rapid and extensive political and economic reform over the past decade. An impressive science and technology system inherited from over sixty years of being embedded in the former Soviet economy has been placed under con siderable financial pressure during the reform process. As market reforms deepen, a major challenge for government planners is to maintain the inherent strengths of their science system and turn its potenti…
Migration research and migration policy making
This article reports on a study to investigate the links between policy makers and social scientific researchers with respect to migration in the Asia Pacific region. It addresses the ways in which research networks inform the policy process and especially the extent to which, and how, migration research has an impact on migration policy. The major findings that emerge from the study include the following: – knowledge of the political and economi…
Bridging Knowledge Boundaries
Bridging Knowledge Boundaries
This paper presents a developing economy perspective of 'knowledge-based development'. The observation is made that in order to avoid some of the negative consequences of globalisation, developing countries need policy instruments quite different from those that prevailed among developing countries through the 1980s and 1990s. The current development of science and technology policy in Mozambique is presented as an example of how national S& T po…
The Internationalization of Higher Education
Cultura organizativa de investigadores y entorno político y social
L’organització de la recerca es transforma d’una manera ràpida i profunda a la majoria de països. Les fronteres tradicionals de la ciència es qüestionen per la influència de la indústria i el govern. Aquestes afecten multitud de països i la recerca científica es du a terme mitjançant diferents imperatius qualitatius com a resposta a mercats diferents dels que van predominar durant les dècades anteriors. Apareix un espai social on es rediscuteixen…
CRCs and Transdisciplinary Research
A number of authors have recently proposed a future for science where the traditional academic mode of knowledge production, primarily organised on disciplinary lines, is largely replaced by a different mode of knowledge production that is more transient in its organisational forms. If correct, the new mode of knowledge production has implications for the research cultures of universities, government research institutes, or industrial laboratorie…
Research Management and Commercial Markets
Research institutions and universities have undergone significant organisational change during the past decade. While these organisations have been pressed to attract an increasingly larger proportion of their research budget from industry, they have introduced business principles and practices in order to manage their scientific research and to focus it more on producing commercial outcomes. As individual scientists and institutions have respond…

Aboriginal Drinking
This paper examines an aspect of social inequality experienced by Aboriginal people living in a remote Queensland mining town. We contend that non‐Aboriginal perceptions and attitudes of Aboriginal drinking behaviour contribute directly to structural inequalities within the Mount Isa community. Social drinking in the township is, for reserve‐dwelling Aborigines, restricted mainly to one bar in one hotel and adjoining park and river bank area. The…
