- Summary
- "The theme of Science, Technology and Development in Southern Africa, and East and Central Asia is threefold. The first component concerns the proposition that no under-developed nation will be empowered to meet the needs and aspirations of its citizens without the adoption of advancing Science and Technology."--BOOK JACKET. "Component number two engages what is widely regarded as potentially the most enabling cluster of advanced technologies for development in the South: information technologies (IT)."--BOOK JACKET. "The final component discusses the crucial subject of technology transfer by comparing Japan's technology transfer to Southeast Asia and Southern Africa."--BOOK JACKET.
