Abstract

Research and innovation can powerfully accelerate development, in part by informing governance that is open, accountable, and participatory. Converting knowledge into poverty reduction and appropriate development raises questions traditionally put to social scientists: questions of community action, political change, policy processes, and economics. Research is a necessity for just and sustainable development. These opening remarks emphasize that when it comes to sustainable development, good governance is by definition, democratic governance.
