If knowledge-based economic systems are to be adopted, succeed and be disseminated, many significant barriers must be overcome regardless of how advanced a country is in terms of its infrastructure and domestic production. This paper describes an investigation of the critical factors associated with the adoption and dissemination of a knowledge economy initiative. The focus of the research is o...

Despite much attention to how ideas affect policy making, where these ideas come from is a blind spot in comparative political economy.

We show as well that the organization of knowledge regimes is heavily influenced by the organization of their surrounding political economies such th...

Economists have now shifted their focus to the creation and diffusion of knowledge to explain the varying levels of this economic growth and development. In the last couple ...
