Since gaining political independence in the 1950s, science has
rapidly become a prerequisite for national development within many
African nations. Supported by international agencies, such as
UNESCO, initiatives were taken to direct Africa on the road of
scientific development, enabling contributions to world science and
significant progress in many specific research areas. However, from
a developmental perspective there remains the question of how
science influences national development plans and strategies. How
far are science policies integrated into the national development
plans? What potential and challenges do science and technology pose
for Africa and its prospects for wider development? Offering a
comprehensive historical and empirical study of science in both
colonial and post-colonial Africa, R. Sooryamoorthy brings to light
the connections between science, policy and development in African
nations. Focusing on understanding the widening gap in science and
technology between developed and developing regions, and the
integration (or lack of) with national development strategies, this
study provides important insights into the potential opportunities
and challenges facing Africa in the areas of science.
