The development of modern biotechnology has varied considerably
from country to country. Typically, there are wide technology gaps
between developing and industrialised countries and considerable
differences in investment and regulatory systems, often creating a
need for policy intervention. This innovative book examines the
development and evolution of biotechnology in industrialised and
developing countries. The author first explores efforts made by
policymakers and the leaders in the field to reduce technology
gaps, and analyses the development of financial mechanisms and
regulatory frameworks to hasten the adoption and diffusion of
biotechnology. The second section looks at the relationship between
biotechnology and its resource base, biological diversity. The
author emphasizes the interdependency between biodiversity and
biological R&D in an attempt to simplify the debate on the
conservation of biological diversity. The last section focuses on
the potential positive and negative impacts of biotechnology and
its contribution towards sustaining biodiversity. The Emergence and
Growth of Biotechnology will be of great interest to undergraduate
and postgraduate economics students interested in the economics of
technology, economic development and biotechnology and
environmental conservation.
