ABSTRACT

This chapter further elaborates the proposed alternative approach to justice, explaining how it can solve the question of inclusive innovation for development. It also examines the impact of innovation systems and development on the poor, arguing that emerging innovation and development models have been analysed empirically in terms of their similarities with and differences from traditional systems of innovation and development. However, these emerging models are not by definition inclusive and socially just. Rather they need to be evaluated in terms of relational principles which go beyond the distribution of material resources, capabilities and opportunities. The normative direction of emerging models of innovation and development is, in the final analysis, a matter of both morality and politics.
