The articles in this special section give readers a better sense of the challenges facing state government in these policy areas and how states are situated to satisfy the new intellectual and conceptual demands on policymaking that they elicit.

States must pay more attention to the capacity of their officials to reach decisions in an informed, effective, efficient, and responsive manner; the evaluation of state science and technology programs must go further than mere indicators of employment to evaluate the intermediate but vital goals of establishing and leveraging R&D capacities, absorbing technologies, and creating spillovers; and state legislators have their own requirements for analysis and that suppliers who would service this awkward market would be well advised to take notice of its specifications. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
