Development Aid Policy Options for the North

Charles Cooper

Chapter 15 in New Generic Technologies in Developing Countries, 1997, pp 285-294 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There is a plausible argument that recent developments in technology and in the organization of the international economy have made the issue of technology in Third World industrialization more important than at any time since the 1960s. This is the context for discussing the implications for Northern aid policies. It is discussed very briefly in the first section of this chapter. In the second section, there is a discussion of the implications of new technologies for trade, investment and development, based on research ideas at the United Nations University Institute for New Technologies in Maastricht, the Netherlands. This is followed by a third section which draws conclusions for aid policy. The emphasis is on the industrial sector, but the arguments can be generalized.
