But while the coupling of ‘responsible' and <br>'innovation’ has been much discussed, that of 'responsible *stagnation*' <br>has <br>gone largely unexplored. In this book, we take this concept seriously as <br>a means to question the political economy of science, technology <br>and innovation, both as policy and as process, and the problems which arise <br>from unquestioned emphasis on innovation as the means to increase GDP. The <br>book argues that examining what responsible stagnation might contribute <br>opens new space in the growing global discussion about RI, incorporating <br>innovation in non-market oriented processes, goods and services which have <br>strong societal benefit but do not necessarily contribute to GDP. It <br>examines the conundrum of diminishing productivity returns and <br>increased environmental and social hazards associated with attempts <br>to increase GDP, and how taking a growth-agnostic approach contributes to <br>recalibrating innovation around responsibility as its focal point. Drawing <br>on insights from ecological and steady state economics, Science and <br>Technology Studies, and social innovation across the world, this <br>interdisciplinary group of scholars questions how the growth paradigm <br>shapes and limits the innovation space, and how decoupling innovation from <br>growth points toward myriad possibilities for facilitating human well-being <br>in more environmentally and socially responsible ways. <br> <br>Available with pre-order discount from: <br>https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/responsibility-beyond-growth <br> <br>The Fourth Quadrant Research Network (4QRN) is an international <br>collaboration between economists, political scientists and science and <br>technology scholars interested in growth-agnostic approaches to innovation. <br>For more information and to join, see our new site at <br>http://fourthquadrant.org <br> <br>-- <br>Stevienna de Saille, PhD <br>Research Fellow, Institute for the Study of the Human (iHuman) <br>Department of Sociological Studies / Faculty of Social Sciences <br>University of Sheffield <br>c/o ICOSS, 219 Portobello <br>Sheffield S1 4DP <br>http://ihuman.group.shef.ac.uk <br>Co-Founder, Fourth Quadrant Research Network on Responsible Stagnation <br>(4QRN) <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
