While there is a broad consensus that upgrading these economies towards innovation-led growth is imperative, countless institutional and political economy obstacles remain. This book brings together analytical perspectives from comparative political economy, innovation studies, and development economics for the study of technological upgrading. Its distinctive contribution is the development of an innovative theoretical framework, named upgrading regimes, combining and extending the comparative capitalism and innovation system perspectives. It explores the usefulness of this approach by providing an indepth assessment of the political economy of upgrading in Brazil under the Workers’ Party governments. As the politics of technological upgrading will be one of the crucial research areas in the years to come, this book promises to become a key reference point in this debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Schedelik\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer and Research Associate at the Institute of Political Science at Goethe University Frankfurt where he teaches Comparative and International Political Economy.
