This paper is a preliminary attempt to describe NIS approach in broad definition as a theoretical circle in the broad realm of evolutionary economics’ scientific research program and to analyze if Prof. Lundavall and his colleagus in Aalbourg University’s initiation to stretch their conceptual focus outreaching the Asian and African Countries as a scientific advancement or an ad hoc hypothesis regardless of negative heuristics of Evolutionary Economics Scientific Program. The methodology selected is MSRP introduced by Imre Lakatos. This paper first analyses the internal artchitecture of Lundval’s NIS theory in the framework of lakatosian Methodological Scientific Research Program and introduce its hardcore and auxiliary hypothesis, and positive heuristics and then by evaluating the hypotheses brought forth by Lundvall in the Asian and African projects , it concludes that the Asian project can be considered as an scientific advancement of National Innovation system While African project is an ad hoc and local hypothese.
