Abstract: Abstract Drawing heavily on ideas presented originally by Stewart1 this book will explore the notion of a technological system and show how this concept can be applied empirically to a range of key policy issues in development economics. We will argue that although technological systems are rooted in very different historical periods, they can nevertheless still be identified as distinctive entities in the context of today’s developing countries. As such our argument has two main components, one being historical in character and the other having to do with the contemporary relationships between different technological systems in developing countries. Before presenting our ideas on these two issues, however, we need to investigate the concept of technology itself.
