 Ewing, A. F. "Transfer and Development of Technology: The Problems of 

 Developing Countries in Perspective." Journal of World Trade Law, v. 11, 

 Jan.-Feb. 1977: 1-14. 



Examines the technological dependence of the developing countries on 

 the developed, and why the poor have little from the rich. Contends that a 

 substantially increased standard of living is not possible without industrializa- 

 tion, and for this technology is essential. Favors a policy of national self- 

 reliance in this respect, with collective self-reliance organized by developing 

 countries alone as a counterpart to OECD and Comecon.

 Trade Law, v. 10, May- June 1976: 197-214. 



"The technology-poor developing countries find themselves in a weak 



bargaining position in the process of the transfer of technology, facing 



predominantly foreign control over sources and dissemination of technology 



and a very feeble percentage of indigenous technological development. 



UNCTAD's program for the transfer of technology, discussed in this article, 



is directed to these problems."
