An auto-centered technological policy: fundamental problems

Abstract

The control of technology is one of the major instruments of domination in power relations within a country as it is in international relations particularly in North-South relations. International technology transfers subjected to the laws of oligopolistic competition have contributed to aggravating the already gross in equality of the world distribution of control on the conditions and products of development research and its applications. This article will be based on the following problems: the close interdependence of the basic objectives of development and priority scientific and technological sectors; the conditions for success, particularly the determination of executors and the strategy programme.
