Ex library copy with stamp. Slight marks to top fore edge.; This volume brings together influential voices in international science & development policy, including Mohamed H. A. Hassan, Jacques Gaillard, & Govindarajan Padmanaban, to examine the role of basic sciences in low- & middle-income countries. Based on a high-level international conference held in Uppsala, Sweden, the book explores how donor policies have historically favoured applied research while neglecting core scientific disciplines. Through regional case studies and expert analysis, the contributors make a compelling case for renewed investment in fundamental science as a foundation for sustainable development. Essential reading for policy professionals, development researchers, & anyone interested in the global politics of science and education.; 22.2 x 15.5 x 1.5 cms; 150 pages First Edition (original conference proceedings); First Impression.
