Abstract
A longstanding issue in North-South technoscientific relations has to do with the ways in which the interests and objectives of sponsors and stakeholders in the North affect the research agenda and behavior of research institutions in the South. Observers have often emphasized the hegemony-reproducing effects of Northern actors, or the dispersion-inducing effects of multilateral-bureaucratic interests, in the deployment of technoscience in the South, or the imposition of a division of labor in which the South supplies research sites and data for science in the North.
The views expressed here are the author’s alone and should not be attributed to the International Development Research Centre. Many thanks to colleagues who provided assistance and information in support of this paper. A special thanks to IDRC colleagues who participated in the the R&D management management value survey.
