520			_aWith every passing year, the technological gap between the advanced industrial world and the developing world becomes wider. Perhaps more than any other feature of underdevelopment this has the most frightening implications. The authors of the papers gathered in this volume review progress made by the governments of the developing world in the establishment of science and technology. Since the Vienna Programme of Action of 1979 there has undoubtedly been progress, but there still remains a disastrous lack of coherent policy, with the foundations upon which ambitious schemes are built remaining often quite inadequate. However, International Science and Technology does not merely dwell on these past failures, but offers a broad range of recommendations for improvements at the national, regional and global levels for broadening co-operation and the utilization of science.
