The collective volume entitled “The Entrepreneurial Rise in Southeast Asia, The Quadruple Helix Influence on Technological Innovation”, edited by Stavros Sindakis and Christian Walter, published by Palgrave Macmillan, contributes to the examination of the phenomenon of the entrepreneurial activity grow in the Southeast Asia region. This volume sheds light into the implications of this phenomenon by interconnecting it to particular contextual characteristics, such as the level of innovation, the particular political regime, and economic and social development. Regions seeking to achieve economic and social development aim to create a dynamic framework composed by strong entrepreneurial activity and high levels of innovation. The Southeast Asia is a well chosen geographical area to be researched in order to find evidence to answer questions having to do with the creation of such a dynamic network. This is because during the last decade the Southeast Asia region has evolved into a prime example of a developing area characterized by entrepreneurial growth and increasing levels of innovation.

This study explores the connection between technological innovation, globalization, and CO2 emissions by controlling the critical influence of information and communication technology (ICT) and economic growth in a panel of One Belt One Road (OBOR) countries from 1991 to 2019, utilizing advanced and robust econometric strategies (second generation). In addition, this study also uses an interaction variable (TI*GLOB) to check the interaction role of technological innovation on the linkage between globalization and CO2 emission, besides their direct effect on CO2 emissions in OBOR countries. The outcomes revealed that the linkage between technological innovation and CO2 emissions is negative, and statically significant in all the regions (e.g., OBOR, South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, MENA, Europe, and Central Asia). Moreover, the results of globalization show a significant positive relationship with CO2 emissions in OBOR and South Asia region. Nevertheless, it significantly negatively affects environmental pollution in East and Southeast Asia, MENA, Europe, and Central Asia. The results of TI*GLOB indicate that, for the OBOR sample, East and Southeast Asia, and Central Asia, the moderation effects of technological innovation with globalization are significantly negatively associated with CO2 emissions. However, in MENA and Europe, the interaction effect is a significant positive. The coefficient of ICT for OBOR, Europe, and Central Asia are positive and statistically significant; however, for East, Southeast Asia, and MENA regions, these results are statistically negative. Furthermore, the findings are robust, according to various robustness checks that we have performed for checking the reliability of our main findings. The study establishes numerous polities and makes various recommendations, in light of relevant conclusions.

In the era of the rapid development of knowledge economy and science, all countries have thought highly of technical innovation and greatly increased the R&D input for it. However, the research on the impact of R&D input on technical innovation lacks specialized, cross-country, and cross-time investigations, and especially, the research on small countries such as South Asia and Southeast Asia where technical innovation is relatively backward. So, does R&D input in South Asia and Southeast Asia have an impact on technical innovation and to what extent? Let us analyze the panel data of 18 countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia from 2001 to 2018, use three methods of unit root test to test the stationarity of variables, adopt the Kao cointegration test to test a stable long-term relationship between the variables, and then, respectively, carry out the transnational regression analysis of the difference between patent applications, scientific journal articles, and the R&D input with multiple models. Finally, the heteroscedasticity robust fixed-effect model is found to be the most suitable for this study after the comparative analysis of multiple models. Through the fixed-effect intercepts of each country in the heteroscedasticity robust fixed-effect models, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries are divided into three levels, and each level lists a set of equations. So, the following conclusions are drawn: both R&D expenditure and manpower input in South Asia and Southeast Asia significantly promote technological innovation; the efficiency of both R&D expenditure and manpower input promoting technological innovation in South Asia and Southeast Asia is low and needs to be improved. These conclusions provide references for policymakers in some countries where technological innovation is relatively backward, especially in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, and Nepal.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
