Research, ideas, and leadership for a more secure, peaceful world
Technological Innovation and Development Seminar with Alice Amsden on Beyond Late Development: Upgrading Policies in Taiwan.
Alice Amsden is Barton T. Weller Professor of Political Economy at MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning. Prof. Amsden recently co-authored a book on the phenomenon of high-end catch-up, examining how leading firms from the most advanced latecomer countries like Taiwan have increased their market share in mature high-tech industries and services. The book, Beyond Late Development: Upgrading Policies in Taiwan, challenges the traditional view of the government's role in the nation's high-tech industrial development.
The Technological Innovation and Development seminar series is chaired by Professor Calestous Juma.
This event is sponsored by the Center for International Development, the Science, Technology and Globalization Project and the Center for Business and Government.
