Description

The theme of this book is threefold: 1) the proposition that no underdeveloped nation will be empowered to meet the needs and aspirations of its citizens without the adoption of advancing Science & Technology. 2) potentially the most enabling cluster of advanced technologies for development in the South: information technologies (IT). 3) the crucial subject of technology transfer by comparing Japan's technology transfer to Southeast Asia and Southern Africa.
