This book focuses on the development of four key issues in the
development of modern Spain; knowledge, manufacturing, energy and
telecommunications, and public works. If technology transfer from
advanced nations to less developed systems always worked, then the
whole world would now be rich. That this is not the case is so
obvious, we might well expect that the history of the processes,
successes and failures of technology transfer across nations would
be a very well-established field of enquiry. In fact, the theme is
still a developing one, and the present Special Issue centres on
the case of Spain as exemplary in many respects. The collected
essays focus upon the four major themes of knowledge,
manufacturing, energy, and telecommunications and public works.
Essays range in time from the 18th century to the present time,
from studies of espionage and early links between craftsmen and
savants, to the institutions of technology (from training systems,
to private enterprise activity, or patents), to case-studies of
silk manufacture, shipbuilding, mining, paper-making, and
pharmaceuticals. Each essay offers a broad variety of material to
bring to bear on a major problem of world development, past,
present, and future.
