Abstract
Loet Leydesdorff suggests a view on technological innovations as a complex process in which he disaggregates national innovation systems. The theoretical model of the “Triple Helix” puts emphasis on transnational and potentially uncoupled dimensions of innovation dynamics. Leydesdorff shows the limits of governmental policies and proposes communication processes as a crucial lens to explore global, national, and regional levels of the knowledge economy
