This volume examines the relationships among social ecology innovation sustainable development and economic growth. The Quintuple Helix innovation model focuses on the interactions among five key elements of society: academia industry government culture and the environment--with particular respect to harnessing knowledge to promote social political and economic development.

The authors provide policy approaches and strategies to help create a balance among the often competing forces of environmental protection innovation entrepreneurship and social and economic growth that will successfully benefit society and protect democratic values.
