About the book

A discussion of theoretical debates regarding the position of science and technology in global capitalism, with reference to the concrete case study of Africa. Noah Zerbe explores the implications for Africa of the Western concept of global biotechnology and offers the opinion that a fundamentally different model of agricultural research and technology transfer will be necessary to ensure that Africa derives any benefit from adavnces in agricultural technology. Further, he argues, the place where such an alternative is to be found is Africa itself.
