This book brings together experts from Europe and Latin America to make a comparative (North-South) study of key aspects of science and technology policy in both the developed and developing world. The areas covered are off-shore oil industrialisation, information technology, the impact of international biotechnology diffusion, and priorities in science and technology policy. It is intended that the comparative approach will draw attention to and expose the importance of developing adequate policies for the benefit of both the developed and the developing countries. The theoretical analysis is supported by factual examples of policy application and its' consequences.
