Biotechnology along with the other core technology viz. Information
Technology, is at the heart of technology revolution in Asia. Asian
countries have adopted strategies for harnessing the potential of
biotechnology for their industrial Development. The areas of
applications both in pharmaceutical and agriculture sector have
widened, finding new vistas of economic growth. Policy challenges,
however, are arising among others, concerning trade in GMOs, impact
of genetic engineering on environment and human health, biosafety
management, and ethical aspects that are yet to be addressed at any
collective forum in Asia. One of the missing links is a dialogue
between natural and social scientists so as to identify
socio-economic requirements and policy priorities in the realm of
biotechnology and development in the region. This book brings
together perceptions on some of these issues by eminent experts
from the Asian region. As a sequel to the pioneering
""Biotechnology Revolution and the Third World: Challenges and
Policy Options"" (RIS 1988), this volume draws lessons from the
experiences of Asian developing countries and revisits some of the
concerns raised earlier.
