The globalisation trend of the past few decades, driven to a large extent by the proliferation of GVCs, has led to a set of significant changes in patterns of technology upgrading and new modes of interaction between domestic technology efforts and external sources of technological knowledge. Whether this new dynamic will lead to continuing increase in the economic importance of emerging economies will ultimately depend on whether their productivity growth will be driven by technology upgrading, requiring active and coordinated activity orchestrated by a variety of state and non-state actors under diverse sectoral, regional and national innovation systems. The new dynamic also reinforces the focus on local-global interfaces which becomes ever more important once we recognize that in the 21st century technology upgrading challenges depend much more on improvements in connectivity and on the industrial ecosystem. Still, the globalization process experienced in the past few decades-reflected in this collection of papers-may need to be recalibrated in the face of the drastic geopolitical changes that the process itself has brought about.
过去几十年的全球化趋势在很大程度上由全球价值链的扩散所驱动，导致了技术升级模式以及国内技术努力与外部技术知识来源之间新的互动模式发生了一系列重大变化。这种新动态是否会导致新兴经济体在经济上的重要性持续提升，最终将取决于其生产率增长是否由技术升级推动，而这需要各种国家和非国家行为体在不同的部门、区域和国家创新体系下进行积极且协调的活动安排。这种新动态还强化了对本地 - 全球界面的关注，一旦我们认识到在21世纪技术升级挑战更多地取决于连通性的改善和产业生态系统，这一点就变得愈发重要。尽管如此，鉴于这一过程本身所带来的剧烈地缘政治变化，过去几十年经历的全球化进程——正如本论文集所反映的那样——可能需要重新校准。
