Summary, etc. The overwhelming economic success of the newly industrializing countries (NICS) of East Asia is a prime example of the central role science and technology policy can play in economic development strategies. The difficulty lies in recognizing what makes for workable policies and in applying the lessons of East Asia to other developing countries.<br/><br/>This study attempts to define 'good' policy by identifying: What domestic capabilities are necessary for successful technology transfer and adaptation? What is the best means of obtaining foreign technology? What is the causal link between science, technology, and development, and what is the proper balance between expenditures on basic science and technology? What role is there for government intervention and research in both agriculture and industry? Drawing on the fields of technology choice, technological changes, institutions, and human resources, the contributors look at examples of East Asian development and point out the commonalities behind differing policies, goals, and cultural and economic systems, providing insight into one of the most important issues in development today.
