Is the dependence of Third World countries on multinational corporationsespecially in the realm of high technologya permanent fixture of an inherently unequal relationship? Or can it be managed by the developing nations for their benefit?By a masterful comparative study of the development of science and technology in Argentina and Brazil, the author discusses governmental policies that are effective in attaining autonomous technological development. Professor Adler provides a useful corrective to the structural theories of development that have up to now prevailed in the study of international relations by demonstrating that intellectual and technological elites play a far more significant role in the success or failure of such governmental policies than has hitherto been recognized.
