LINK News Bulletin: August 2008

Special Issue on Development Assistance

"To coincide with the high level forum on aid effectiveness taking place in Accra in the first week of September, this issue of the LINK News Bulletin presents two opinion pieces on science and technology and development assistance. The first, by LINK co-ordinators Andy Hall and Jeroen Dijkman, reflects on the implication of a global knowledge economy and the way it calls into question the notion of donor and recipient countries. Norman Clark, the author of the second opinion piece, has been working on policy aspects of S&T and development since the early 1970s, and has held positions at SPRU and, most recently, at the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS) in Nairobi and the Open University in the UK."
