The fellowship project researched how different East Asian countries organize their innovation policies; and especially, how they maintain dynamic policy capacities to respond to techno-economic developments and socio-economic challenges.
In the first stage, an original analytical framework; an evolutionary approach to analyzing state and policy capacities;was developed that looks at the main potential factors (from the perspective of the evolutionary theory) influencing the success of innovation policy, both in terms of coming up with novel policy ideas (innovation in policy) and implementing them with desired impact (supporting innovation through policy): the routines and capacities of innovation policy organizations, the location and autonomy of these organizations in a policy system, organizational variety (of routines and capacities) of the specific national policy systems.
In the second stage, the framework was used in case studies of innovation policy evolutions in three East Asian economies: Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, R.O.C. Research showed that while most of the innovation policy and governance rhetoric of these economies is increasingly emulating the US and European discourses on entrepreneurial state and societal challenges oriented innovation policies, the specific institutional and organizational legacies of these economies seem to lead to the emergence of a specific form of innovation policy governance where political actors and institutions for top-down governance are much more central and explicit than in US or Europe.
