This text explores the impact of information and communications
technologies on the changing economic relationship between Europe
and the Developing World, in the context of telematics-related
trade, work organization and distance education. The contributors
elucidate the reasons why the phenomenon of globalization need not
be a battleground of competing nations. The essays written by
researchers and practitioners, from the European Union and
Developing Countries, identify the areas where policy interventions
could lead to "co-operative competition" between the EU and the
developing world. The book contains empirical data and should be of
particular interest to scholars and policymakers engaged with the
questions of spatial division of labour, emerging trading links,
information processing work, the "brain-drain" and tele-education.
A US/Brazil trade conflict on the Brazilian protectionist
electronics policy developed during 198589. In that period and
under the threat of trade sanctions, a few changes were made in the
Brazilian policy. Major consequences of the conflict were felt
after its conclusion. It was one important political factor among
the forces that pushed for the opening of the Brazilian electronics
market in the early 1990s.
This collection examines the political conditions affecting science
and technology capability building in Latin America. In a
comparative discussion centering on Argentina, Brazil and Mexico,
the work discusses the capacity Latin American governments have
shown in building national systems for the support of innovation in
industry. It looks at how state capacities for the design and
implementation of science and technology policies have evolved and
examines how political factors, such as military rule and
authoritarianism, have shaped such capabilities and the pattern of
development. In looking ahead to the future economic and social
development in Latin America, contributors suggest that selective
but active state intervention in favour of technological change
will be needed to ensure implementation of realistic technology
policies.
