Abstract
If the first session of the conference developed the themes of globalisation and of the reciprocal interaction of science, technology and society, and if it likewise advanced the demand that the great potentials of science and technology should be integrated into social struggles for democratic rights, then this second session may be said to have followed a pattern according to which these various threads were woven together into a single design. The dominant motif of the session thus rightfully lay in defining a realistic strategy by which the underdeveloped countries — whose peoples, of course, comprise the vast majority of the population of the globe — would be able to overcome the present cruelly unequal distribution of power over the material, and especially the technological, resources of the world.
