OverviewCanada's thirteen provinces and territories are significant actors in Canadian society, directly shaping cultural, political, and economic domains. Regions also play a key role in creating diversity within innovative activity. The role of provinces and territories in setting science, technology, and innovation policy is, however, notably underexplored. Ideas, Institutions, and Interests examines each province and territory to offer real-world insights into the complexity and opportunities of regionally differentiated innovation policy in a pan-continental system. Contributing scholars detail the distinctive ways in which provinces and territories articulate ideas and interests through their institutions, programs, and policies. Many of the contributing authors have engaged first-hand with either micro- or macro-level policy innovation and are innovation leaders in their own right, providing invaluable perspectives on the topic. Exploring the vital role of provinces in the last thirty years of science, technology, and innovation policy development and implementation, Ideas, Institutions, and Interests is an insightful book that places innovation policy in the context of multilevel governance.

Conclusions and Lessons Learned David Castle and Peter W.B. PhillipsReviewsIdeas, Institutions, and Interests fills a critical gap in our knowledge of Canada's innovation system. While we never lack for studies of the nature of the Canadian federal system, the federal dimension of our science, technology, and innovation system, and the role of the provinces and territories in particular, has long been neglected. While there are many valuable insights from this comprehensive study, perhaps the most telling is the editors' observation that outside of the major metropolitan centres, the major issue for provincial innovation policies remains the challenge of reducing their exposure to economic volatility, the traditional 'staples trap, ' by upgrading to higher-value products and services in the commodity-based sectors and supporting the expansion of more innovation-intensive knowledge-based sectors in their respective economies. - David A. Wolfe, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto Mississauga, and Co-Director of the Innovation Policy Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto This excellent collection outlining the history of research and innovation policy in different provinces and federal organizations provides the foundations on which to build so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. A must-read for anyone wishing to tackle the much-needed coordination of Canadian innovation policy between multiple agencies and several levels of government. - Catherine Beaudry, Professor of Innovation Economics in the Department of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering, Polytechnique Montreal and Canada Research Chair in the Creation, Development and the Commercialization of Innovation Author InformationPeter W.B.
