Description

This volume examines the relationships among social ecology, innovation, sustainable development and economic growth.¬† The Quintuple Helix innovation model focuses on the interactions among five key elements of society: academia, industry, government, culture, and the environment–with particular respect to harnessing knowledge to promote social, political, and economic development. ¬† The Quintuple Helix is a powerful theoretical and practical lens for analyzing and understanding such critical and complex ecological and socioeconomic issues as global warming and climate change and their implications for sustainability. ¬†The authors provide policy approaches and strategies to help create a balance among the often competing forces of environmental protection, innovation, entrepreneurship, and social and economic growth that will successfully benefit society and protect democratic values.
