Globalization and the dynamics of knowledge and innovation are at the root of socio-economic change. This is true regardless of the specific development phase countries are undergoing or of their location. Intense worldwide relations make local happenings shape and being shaped by events occurring elsewhere. Examples of our globalised world are the international production and trade of goods and services; the global mobility of capital and investments; the mobility of labourers, know-how and intellectual capital; and the global flow of data and information, also facilitated by the Internet and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Global are also concerns as the worldwide security, as well as aims
such as eradicating poverty and preserving the environment. In our intertwined world science and technology (S&T) and innovation have become all the more inherently global and have the potential to increase local, national, regional and global welfare by satisfying global needs and by offering new solutions to global problems.

Globalization is a complex multidimensional and multifaceted phenomenon, whose drivers, components and effects are far from being fully understood. Still, globalization is not a new phenomenon, as market and trade had become increasingly international since the 19th century. The same happened to production factors and settings ? including the acquisition of energy and raw-materials ?, to investments and financial markets, and to industrial R&Dand innovation. Especially since the 1980s global scientific co-operation, international  collaboration of firms, universities and R&D institutes, and research co-operation along the production chain has also been growing. These and other trends currently characterizing globalization may give right to argue for a new “development phase” of globalization.
