To understand technological dependence and self-reliance in the
manufacturing industries of the Third World, Sahu tests the main
propositions of the two theories on technology transfer. He focuses
particularly on understanding the shifting bargaining power of the
multinationals, the state and private national capital; the process
of acquisition, assimilation, adaptation, and generation of
technology at the firm level; the role of the public sector and
state regulations and control in the development of technological
capability and self-reliant development; the conditions—domestic
and international—that allow a developing country to move from a
situation of dependency to self-reliance; and the phenomenon of
reverse flow of technology from the Third World. According to Sahu,
dependency theory is inadequate because of its structural mode of
analysis, which portrays dependency as a determinant international
structure rather than as a set of shifting constraints within which
states seek to maneuver. Though its single-cause explanation of
technological dependence in the Third World is helpful in
explaining the phenomenon of the technological gap between India
and its technology suppliers, it does not explain the growing
bargaining power of the state and the national capital vis-a-vis
multinationals in the last two decades. But according to Professor
Sahu, the more sophisticated and dynamic bargaining framework,
which considers dependency to be one of the many possible outcomes
of technology transfer, helps researchers better understand the
changing situations of developing countries, particularly the
Indian situation since the early 1970s. An important study for
researchers and policy makers dealing with economic development in
emerging markets, particularly India.
