Drawing on a documentary analysis of two socioeconomic policy programs, one Flemish (“Vlaanderen in Actie”), the other Walloon (“Marshall Plans”), and a discourse analysis of how these programs are received in one Flemish and one Francophone quality newspaper, this article illustrates how Flanders and Wallonia both seek to become top-performing knowledge-based economies (KBEs). The article discerns a number of discursive repertoires, such as “Catching up,” which policy actors draw on to legitimize or question the transformation of Flanders and Wallonia into KBEs. The “Catching up” repertoire places Flanders resolutely ahead of Wallonia in the global race toward knowledge, excellence, and growth, but suggests that Wallonia may, in due course, overtake Flanders as a top competitive region. Given the expectations and fears that “Catching up” evokes among Flemish and Walloon policy actors, the repertoire serves these actors as a flexible discursive resource to make sense of, and shape, their collective futures and their regional identities. The article’s findings underline the simultaneity of, and the interplay between, globalizing forces and particularizing tendencies, as Flanders and Wallonia develop with a global KBE in region-specific ways.

As reflexões aqui expostas foram propiciadas pelo desenvolvimento do tema “Indicadores de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação”, fruto de reflexões teóricas e de práticas de pesquisa na área de Ciência da Informação. O artigo apresenta elementos conceituais presentes na construção de indicadores de ciência, tecnologia e inovação e resultados parciais referentes à primeira fase da pesquisa em andamento: "Indicadores de CT&I do Pólo Tecnológico de São Carlos: contribuições para um sistema local de inovação". Inicialmente, o artigo aborda os marcos conceituais dos indicadores de CT&I, que têm suas origens em várias disciplinas. A seguir, descrevemos as abordagens teóricas na construção de indicadores de CT&I. Enfocamos o uso da bibliometria para diagnosticar e analisar as atividades de CT&I. E finalmente, apresentamos uma primeira aproximação dos indicadores de CT&I do pólo tecnológico de São Carlos. Abstract The development of the issue "Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators" has motivated reflections that originated from both theoretical and research practice in the area of Information Science. This article demonstrates conceptual elements which are presented in science, technology and innovation indicators, and the outcomes are part of the first phase of a research in progress: "Indicators of ST&I of the Technopolis of São Carlos: contributions for a local system innovation". Firstly, the article presents a conceptual framework of the ST&I indicators, that have their origins in several disciplines. Then, a description of a theoretical approach in building on ST&I indicators was done. The usage of the bibliometrics to diagnosis and to analyse the ST&I activities is the main focus. At last, the first approach of the ST&I indicators in the technopolis of São Carlos City is presented.

<div><p>Malaysia has achieved remarkable economic growth for most parts of its history but is finding itself dogged by weak technological dynamism due to structural features of the economy as well as less than satisfactory proficiency in science, technology and innovation (STI). Despite massive investments in creating STI infrastructure, education, physical infrastructure and incentives to support technology upgrading, the stark reality is that the country continues to lag behind the successful latecomers. This paper presents a brief overview on Malaysia’s STI achievements, salient features of the nation’s national innovation system (NIS), the key challenges of its NIS and some recommendations on moving forward. The central theme of the paper is that success in STI is not automatic. It must be made to happen through effective policies promoting innovation as well as innovations in policy-making itself.</p><p>    </p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Key words</span>: Malaysia; national innovation system; STI; innovation; policy making</p></div>
