Book Title: TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES - Practical Applications, Theoretical IssuesLead Editor: Dr Richard Heeks, University of Manchester, UK
Publisher: Frank Cass & Co.
This volume presents the proceedings of the recent international conference on "Science, Technology and Third World Development", held in Glasgow, Scotland. The book brings together an up-to-date review of recent technical advances and current technological issues that affect developing countries. The relationship between technology and development is explored by technologists, economists, trainers and policy analysts from Europe, Africa and Asia. Adoption of agricultural, energy and water technologies is examined from technical and social perspectives. The role of technology in industrial development, and current status of technology transfer are both investigated. Recent developments in technology education and training are also described and analysed. Constraints and problems are highlighted but so, too, are constructive ways forward.
By bringing together both practical cases and intellectual analysis, this volume helps signpost future directions in the technology-development relationship.
