Science and technology capabilities are crucial to the economic
growth of developing countries and to their ability to compete in
the world economy. What factors enable some countries to
successfully adapt technology to create indigenous capabilities and
what factors cause others to fail? In this first global survey of
science and technology capabilities in developing countries, the
authors examine the experiences of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin
America, the Middle East, China, India, and East Asia. Specialists
in science and technology policies in these regions emphasize
learning by doing: using available science and technology in its
various applications--the shop floor, universities, and research
institutes--to eventually develop indigenous capabilities. The
authors consider why such capabilities have emerged in some
societies but not in others and discuss their importance for
domestic and international relations. Also considered are the
implications of the "learning by doing" process for international
relations, international trade, regional studies, science and
technology policy, and management studies. This unique survey will
interest a large audience, from technology policymakers and
regional specialists to business managers, and officials. It will
serve as a reference guide to the current state of science and
technology policies in every region of the world and as a framework
for analyzing and understanding how science and technology
capabilities are being developed.
