Generic Technologies: New Factors for Swedish Aid for Technology Development

Jon Sigurdson

Chapter 14 in New Generic Technologies in Developing Countries, 1997, pp 264-284 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Science and technology constitute important activities in all advanced industrialized countries and the technology component is generally regarded as the driving force for economic development. Thus government and agencies pay great attention to policies and programmes that promote science and technology for the well-being and security of the citizens of the nation. In a gradual shift from military security to economic security, nations are giving increasing emphasis to the promotion of national technological development, and it has in the past been common to consider the nation as a national system of innovation (NSI).
