Globalisation, science, technology and policy

Abstract: Globalisation is changing the interplay between science, technology and international affairs. While national sovereignty is progressively being eroded in even the largest countries, science and technology are becoming central to a growing number of international issues. These trends have implications for the conduct of S&T-related public policymaking in the international realm. Yet there is little evidence of ‘joined-up thinking’ between foreign ministries, economics ministries, and bodies responsible for international S&T cooperation policy. This special issue explores viewpoints from around the world on the state of science, technology and foreign policy. The aim is to provoke forward thinking on the development of a more coherent approach to solving global problems, be they economic, environmental, social, or just plain scientific.
