Synopsis
Explore avenues open to developing countries to become the beneficiaries rather than the victims of technological advances in information and communication, biotechnology, and new materials. Describes some of the more successful cases, such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico; and analyzes the factors that have impeded technological advances in weaker countries. Finds important factors to be creating and strengthening capabilities in science and technology, the role of entrepreneurs in disseminating technology, and appropriate forms of assistance and policy. The 16 papers are from an international seminar held in Stockholm in 1994. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
