INT-9416308 ANDERSON Although "innovation," "competitiveness," and "sustainability" have all emerged as essential themes in analyses of social and economic development, until recently little attention had been paid to the underlying synergies and inherent tensions among them. Harmonizing the three themes in a multinational context is an even more daunting proposition, in view of differences in national political, economic and legal systems, for example. Yet the coherent, mutually-beneficial development of the North American region envisioned by the NAFTA agreement will depend critically upon such harmonization. This project, which is being supported jointly by the National Science Foundation, the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the Mexican National Science and Technology Council (CONACyT), will bring together for 10 days in August 1994, scholars and policy makers from the United States, Canada, and Mexico for a critical examination of the issues that need to be addressed in understanding and harmonizing the relationships among the problems of innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability in a North American regional context. The principal objective will be to develop a long-term agenda that will provide scholars throughout North America with guidance toward further, detailed exploration of these three critical themes and their relationships. An immediate outcome will be a network of scholars with interest and expertise in various aspects of the problem, and a plan to expand and sustain that network. A published proceedings will also result from the institute. Planning and follow-up for the project are under the direction of a trinational steering group chaired by the Canadian Principal Investigator, with U.S. and Mexican representatives being distinguished social scientists nominated, respectively, by NSF and CONACyT. ***

INT-9416308 ANDERSON 虽然"创新"、"竞争力"和"可持续性"都已成为分析社会和经济发展的基本主题，但直到最近，人们才注意到它们之间的潜在协同作用和内在紧张关系。 例如，鉴于各国政治、经济和法律的制度的差异，在多国范围内协调这三个主题是一项更加艰巨的任务。 然而，《北美自由贸易协定》所设想的北美区域协调一致、互利互惠的发展，关键将取决于这种协调。 这个项目由国家科学基金会、加拿大社会科学和人文科学研究理事会和墨西哥国家科学和技术理事会共同支助，将于1994年8月使来自美国、加拿大、在理解和协调联合国系统的作用方面， 的 之间的关系 问题 的 创新，竞争力和可持续性在北美地区的背景下。 主要目标将是制定一个长期议程，为整个北美的学者提供指导， 探索 的 这三个关键 主题 和 他们的关系。 一个直接的成果将是建立一个对该问题各方面感兴趣和具有专门知识的学者网络，以及一个扩大和维持该网络的计划。 该研究所还将出版会议记录。 该项目的规划和后续行动由以下部门领导： 由加拿大首席研究员主持的三国指导小组，美国和墨西哥代表 杰出的社会科学家，分别由NSF提名， 和 国家科学技术委员会 ***
