Abstract
Sustainable Human Development is highly influenced by learning and innovation processes. Generating and using knowledge involve many actors and their interactions, a set often called the Innovation System. Innovation processes are shaped by who these actors actually are, what they do, in which ways they relate (or do not relate) to each other, and how power is distributed among them. A key aspect of innovation is how knowledge is incorporated in social practices. Analyzing those issues helps gauge the possibilities of knowledge democratization. When the power of knowledge is apparent in facts and trends, learning processes deserve special attention. They take place in different contexts shaped by interactions between several actors and are closely related to innovation. Democratizing knowledge requires generalizing learning activities.
