International Area Studies Review, 2003, vol. 6, issue 1, 83-91

Abstract: The economic globalization, the growing importance of knowledge, the information and communication revolution combine to facilitate the intellectual mobility. Intellectual mobility and technology transfer can be an effective way to narrow the digital divide. However, serious questions about the value of transferred technology are raised as well. The possibility of the so-called neocolonialism demands attention. It is crucial for countries to develop their adaptive or applied research capacities. Role of universities must be given due emphasis. International cooperation among all the agents concerned must be pursued in the framework of solidarity. Especially, advanced countries need to respect the needs of developing countries without intent to dominate
