Abstract

This chapter re-examines the key findings and perspectives arising out of the country case studies analysed within the sectoral systems of innovation framework that we coded in terms of innovation capacity in latecomer economies. The four country experiences for biotechnology capacity sketch out the complex landscape of both hope and distress for food security and economic development among latecomers. There are several strands of comparison that scholars of innovation and development could decidedly take up ranging from analysing general hindrances to innovation capacity across latecomers, tracing successes and extrapolating their causes, and exploring potential for duplication across the country and elsewhere within other latecomers.
