The Governance of Science, Technology and Innovation in ASEAN and Its Member States

Introduction: in the context of the implementation of the declared technological modernization of the EAEU economy, the issue of developing the legal framework for the integration in the field of science, technology and innovation, and especially the issue of developing a system of its legal principles, is being updated. The purpose of the study is to develop a comprehensive conceptual understanding of the nature, system and functions of the legal principles that are the core of the legal regulation of the integration cooperation of the EAEU member states in the field of science, technology and innovation. The objectives of the study are the following: 1) to relate the legal principles of the regulation of scientific and technological integration with the principles of the Eurasian integration in general; 2) to carry out a consistent analysis of the degree of consolidation of the principles of scientific and technological integration in Union law; 3) to carry out the doctrinal classification of the principles. Methods: general scientific methods (system, structural and functional), specific scientific methods (comparative legal, dogmatic legal). Results: a classification of the legal principles of scientific and technological integration is proposed, the system of which includes a subgroup of general principles, as well as a subgroup of industry (structural-institutional, integration-legal and organizational) principles. Conclusions: the systematized legal principles are conceptualized as the key legal tools for managing integration processes in the field of science, technology and innovation, the formal consolidation of which will serve as a factor for expanding and deepening the regional scientific and technological integration of the member states.

The publication of our article “Introducing the dilemma of societal alignment for inclusive and responsible research and innovation” (Ribeiro et al., 2018) was accompanied by three commentaries (Guston, 2018; Nordmann, 2018; and Kuzma and Roberts, 2018). In the original article, we invoked Collingridge’s dilemma of the social control of technology to introduce a complementary dilemma of “societal alignment” in the governance of science, technology and innovation. Thoughtful and challenging critiques were presented in the three commentaries. In this paper, as completed in June 2019, we respond to those critiques and, in so doing, seek to further clarify and extend our arguments.
