The New Invisible College:
Science for Development
offers new tools for governing science in the twenty-first century.  Based on exciting advances in complexity and network theories, this book reveals the dynamics and structure of knowledge creation in science.  Dr. Wagner urges policymakers to move beyond national policy models and towards networked models of science.  This will expand opportunities to translate science into useful technology and social welfare, especially for poor countries.

This book draws on Caroline S. Wagner’s 25-year career in science and public policy, including her service as a Member of the United Nations Millennium Development Task Force on Science, Technology and Innovation, where many of these ideas germinated. To contact Caroline, or to engage in this discussion more actively, leave a message on the Science and Development blog.
