Innovation in biomedicine is a global enterprise in which Rising Power states figure prominently and which undoubtedly will re-shape health systems and health economies globally. Scientific and technological innovation processes and policies raise difficult issues in the domains of science technology civil society and the economic and healthcare marketplace. The production of knowledge in these fields is complex uncertain inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional and subject to a continuing political struggle for advantage. As part of this struggle a wide variety of issues - regulation intellectual property ethics scientific boundaries healthcare market formation - are raised and policy agendas negotiated. Methods A range of social science disciplines and approaches have conceptualised such innovation processes. Against a background of concepts such as the competition state and the developmental state and national innovation systems we give an overview of a range of approaches that have potential for advancing understanding of governance of global life science and biomedical innovation with special reference to the Rising Powers in order to examine convergences and divergences between them. Conceptual approaches that we focus on include those drawn from political science political economy sociology of technology Innovation Studies and Science Technology Studies. The paper is part of a project supported by the UK ESRC s Rising Powers programme. Results We show convergences and .
