One example of the cross-regional research collaboration that GDN-NA works to enhance comes from the program of the 2003 meeting of the International Studies Association. Lee McKnight of Syracuse University, Pratana Vongpivat of the Thai Ministry of Science and Technology, and Audrey Selian and Diana Anius of Tufts University produced this study of "Innovating Nations and Regions."
"Innovating Nations and Regions" traces the relationships between information infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and economic growth: The authors find that "information and communication technologies...are both...the products of innovation, as well as the critical tools that create the interfaces, linkages, and knowledge networks between the main players in an innovation system." An earlier version of this paper has appeared in the journal "Trends in Communication."
