India's remarkable development in recent years has been an outcome, in part, of changes in policy that have increased India's capacity for innovation. These proceedings reflect a conference held in Washington in June 2006 that focused on strengthening the strategic partnership between the US and India. Topics include the nature of this emerging global partnership, India's reforms in innovation policy, opportunities and challenges in science and technology cooperation and new synergy, gaps in national and regional development strategies, the means of growing science and technology (especially in partnership) and the work still to be done. Includes a research paper on India's knowledge economy in the global context. The general bibliography is especially well-done. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
