A more recent focus has been on measuring innovation in the corporate sector. NCSES collects its own data on science, technology, and innovation (STI) activities and also incorporates data from other agencies to produce indicators that are used for monitoring purposes - including comparisons among sectors, regions, and with other countries - and for identifying trends that may require policy attention and generate research needs. NCSES also provides extensive tabulations and microdata files for in-depth analysis. Capturing Change in Science, Technology, and Innovation assesses and provides recommendations regarding the need for revised, refocused, and newly developed indicators of STI activities that would enable NCSES to respond to changing policy concerns. This report also identifies and assesses both existing and potential data resources and tools that NCSES could exploit to further develop its indicators program. Finally, the report considers strategic pathways for NCSES to move forward with an improved STI indicators program. The recommendations offered in Capturing Change in Science, Technology, and Innovation are intended to serve as the basis for a strategic program of work that will enhance NCSES's ability to produce indicators that capture change in science, technology, and innovation to inform policy and optimally meet the needs of its user community."--Publisher's description.Science and stateResearchResearchUnited StatesTechnological innovationsUnited StatesfastScience and stateResearch.ResearchTechnological innovations.507.2073Litan Robert E.1950-Wyckoff AndrewFealing Kaye HusbandsNational Research Council (U.S.).Panel on Developing Science, Technology, and Innovation Indicators for the Future,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787158203321Capturing change in science, technology, and innovation3791255UNINA04320nam 2200697Ia 450 991077918790332120230802004954.01-280-59663-597866136264620-7748-2226-010.59962/9780774822268(CKB)2550000000100119(OCoLC)767940692(CaPaEBR)ebrary10573473(SSID)ssj0001104758(PQKBManifestationID)11678008(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001104758(PQKBWorkID)11099383(PQKB)11647337(CEL)443809(CaBNVSL)slc00229826(MiAaPQ)EBC3412793(Au-PeEL)EBL3412793(CaPaEBR)ebr10562685(CaONFJC)MIL362646(OCoLC)923449134(DE-B1597)661141(DE-B1597)9780774822268(EXLCZ)99255000000010011920111130d2012 uy 0engurcn||||||a||txtccrWith friends like these[electronic resource] entangled nationalisms and the Canada-Quebec-France triangle, 1944-1970 /David MerenVancouver UBC Press20121 online resource (373 p.) 0-7748-2225-2 0-7748-2224-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Part 1 -- Best of Times, Worst of Times: The Canada-Quebec-France Triangle, 1944-1960 -- 1 Atlanticism in Common, Atlanticism in Question -- 2 Stagnation amid Growth, Growth amid Stagnation -- 3 "More necessary than ever": The Evolution of Cultural Exchanges -- Part 2 -- The Clash of Nation: The Sources of Triangular Tensions -- 4 A French Fact: The Cultural Impetus -- 5 Vive le Québec libre?

Enduring Triangular Relations."One of the most enduring images of Quebec's Quiet Revolution is Charles de Gaulle proclaiming "Vive le Québec libre!" from the balcony of Montreal City Hall in 1967. The French president's provocative act laid bare Canada's unity crisis and has since dominated both anglophone and francophone interpretations of the Canada-Quebec-France triangle in the modern era.With Friends like These demystifies this cri du balcon by shifting the focus from de Gaulle to the broader domestic and international forces at play. David Meren traces the evolution of Quebec's special relationship with France after the Second World War and reveals that the resulting clash of nationalisms -- French, Québécois, and Canadian -- was fuelled not only by personalities and events but also by the efforts to respond to the power and influence of the United States in an increasingly interconnected world. More than just a herald of Quebec's new place in French international policy, de Gaulle's cri du balcon and its repercussions were the result of concerns on both sides of the Atlantic about the acceleration of a US-dominated globalization.By seeking to understand, rather than simply condemn, aspects of Quebec, Gaullist, and Canadian nationalism, Meren casts doubt on established interpretations of events and exposes the complexity of a rising international interest in Canadian affairs."--Pub. desc.International relationsCanadaForeign relationsFranceFranceForeign relationsCanadaQuébec (Province)RelationsFranceFranceRelationsQuébec (Province)CanadaEnglish-French relationsInternational relations.327.71044Meren David1972-1574785MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779187903321With friends like these3851225UNINA
