Great Article Jaret C. Riddick, PhD I think the main question for me "whether place-based innovation can build resilience in these vulnerable communities that not only boosts local economies, but also enhances U.S. national security by reducing vulnerability to our primary strategic competitors on the global stage?" You are spot on with your answer: tech-based economic development! https://lnkd.in/esRbRf-P

Happy April! World Innovation Day is this month, so our spotlight this month is on new research about how innovation happens in multilateral contexts. Not surprisingly, it highlights that when states need to agree on something, incremental change is the typical approach. So is radical innovation even possible in intergovernmental organizations? https://wix.to/3mzldzq #innovation #invention #UNreform #reformworks

Innovation is another area where things work differently in the U.N. than in the private sector. Check out my latest summary of new research on this and what it means practically for innovators and their managers in intergovernmental organizations. #ReformWorks #UNTwoZero #QuintetofChange

https://bit.ly/4gbEgwz #scienceandtechnologyfortheglobalsouth As science and technology rapidly advance, some developing nations are seizing the opportunity to leapfrog stages of development. However, many others face challenges, particularly in the Global South, where governance issues and the struggle to innovate and adapt effectively are prominent. Compounding these challenges is a persistent technology access gap between industrialized and developing countries, largely due to differences in technological capabilities and inadequate governance frameworks for technology dissemination.

We face global challenges that require cooperation on an unprecedented scale. Issues like climate change, pandemics, and economic inequality can only be effectively addressed through coordinated international efforts. For the first hundreds of thousands of years of the evolution of the species homo sapiens, humans were organized into small groups of hunter-gatherers. Numerous small tribes organized into social groups. Although these groups universally mastered critical skills like language, tool-making, and control of fire, progress was slow.They had the equipment but they did not have the method: large-scale cooperation. Towns and cities started appearing around the world only about 12,000 years ago. The appearance of groups of thousands and tens of thousands ushered in an explosion of innovations. Writing, irrigation, defined hierarchy, and warrior classes began appearing almost simultaneously around the world. In effect, having (mostly) conquered the ever-present threat of starvation, humans could form larger, complex societies. This new era ushered in specialization, which in turn unleashed new, greater levels of productivity. Governance became more complex and efficient and innovations happened faster. As these new technologies and social structures were mastered, the benefits of cooperation became increasingly apparent. Larger societies could pool resources, share knowledge, and work together on projects that would have been impossible for smaller groups. This collaborative approach led to rapid advancements in agriculture, architecture, trade, science and technology, and arts and culture. The rise of empires and city-states further exemplified the power of cooperation on a grand scale. These larger political entities could mobilize vast resources, construct extensive infrastructure, and maintain complex administrative systems. While competition between these powers often led to conflict, it also drove innovation and cultural exchange. As societies continued to grow the scale of cooperation expanded. The modern era saw cooperation such as international trade agreements and scientific research partnerships. The digital age has accelerated this trend, allowing for instant communication and the sharing of ideas across vast distances. The trajectory of human civilization clearly shows that increased cooperation leads to greater collective success. Embracing cooperation and fostering collaboration will be crucial in addressing the complex challenges and opportunities ahead.
