The Third World is facing new challenges arising from the emergence
of new technologies - microelectronics and biotechnologies - and
the process of globalization in capital, goods and services
markets. This book examines the pros and cons of using new
technologies at different levels of technological capabilities in
the Third World. The implications of this challenge for most
developing countries, which are users but not producers of these
technologies, are considered in terms of their actual and potential
impact on employment, income distribution and competitiveness. This
last factor is becoming increasingly important, given increasing
international competition and globalization of production. The book
also pays attention to the need for cleaner or environment-friendly
technologies, particularly in small enterprises, to prevent
resource depletion and attain sustainable development.
