This study analyzes the innovativeness of European Union. Literature related with complex systems, Systems of Innovation, network studies, Framework Programmes and European Research Area will be used to establish a theoretical framework for a policy analysis to increase the innovativeness of European Union. First of all, this Thesis analyzes system dimension of Systems of Innovation in terms of complex systems. Secondly, it forms a database from Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS), Innovation Union Scoreboard, and Regional Innovation Scoreboard data to establish a European Research and Innovation Network, appearing as a result of policy and programme implementations at the European level; investigates this network in terms of the metric developed in the Thesis in order to analyze whether it is a complex system or not. Finally, the innovativeness of European Union is discussed for developing policy recommendations, benefiting from the analytical studies, derived from network analysis and notion of entropy, and theoretical discussions on complex systems, Systems of Innovation, and network studies. Consequently, it is found that implementation of a relatively simple rule by European Commission, in addition to policies focusing on development of diversity and absorptive capacity of countries and/or regions may make important contribution to improve the cohesion and competitiveness of European Research Area, as well as the innovativeness of European Union.

Subject Keywords

Cohesion and competition of Europe Policy suggestions from the perspective of network and entropy Erdil, Erkan (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey); 2015-09-25) This study analyzes the innovativeness of European Union in the context of European Research Area. Literature related with the Systems of Innovation, network studies, Framework Programmes and European Research Area will be used to establish a theoretical framework for a policy analysis. It forms a database from three different resources to establish a European Research and Innovation Network, appearing as a result of policy and programme implementations at the European level. The innovativeness of European ...
Cohesion and Competition of Europe: Innovation Policy from the Perspective of Networks and Entropy ÇETİNKAYA, Umut Yilmaz; Erdil, Erkan (2016-01-01) This study analyzes the innovation performance of the European Union in the context of the European Research Area (ERA). Literature related to the Systems of Innovation, network studies, Framework Programs and the European Research Area will be used to establish a theoretical framework for policy analysis. It forms a database from three different resources to establish a European Research and Innovation Network, which appears as a result of policy and program implementation at the European level. The evalua...
EUROPEAN SPACE POLICY IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT TONGA, ZEYNEP; TANRISEVER, OKTAY F.; Department of European Studies (2022-7) This study aims to analyse the motivations of the European Union in developing its Space Policy mainly in the Post-Cold War Period. In this context, the European Space Policy has been studied in terms of its civilian and military aspects. The thesis also analyses the history of the space race between the USA and the USSR during the Cold War Period in order to clarify the historical context of the EU’s space policy. Furthermore, the thesis also compares and contrasts the contemporary space policies of the US...
Impact analysis of industrial research and development subsidy programs in Turkey: an appraisal of quantitative approaches Tandoğan, Vedat Sinan; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2011) This thesis has two objectives in the field of policy evaluation that recently received extensive attention from international science and technology community. First, an attempt is made to examine, in the Turkish context, the effects of public subsidies on private research and development (R&D), selecting and implementing a suitable empirical methodology. Second, in the context of emerging economies, it aims to contribute to the existing impact analysis literature by providing an evaluation study for the p...
The Eastern enlargement of the European Union: a unique case for imperialism Doğan, Lütfi; Topal Yılmaz, Aylin; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2018) This study analyses the Eastern enlargement of the European Union within the frame of imperialism. For this purpose, the study brings into question the characteristics of the European project, the reasons behind the Eastern enlargement, and the link between globalization, the European integration, and the EU enlargements. In this context, this study argues that the relationship between the EU and the Central and Eastern European countries presents a unique case for imperialism. In other words, the study arg...
