Beskrivning

This study uses a range of science and technology and structural indicators to analyse the transformation process, in particular the transformation of science, technology and industry, in the former communist countries. In-depth assessment of restructuring patterns in the region provides a good basis for an understanding of how restructuring in science and technology is linked to industrial restructuring, and to general economic and social transformation. The book contains 22 contributions, organized into six sections addressing the issues of transformation of science, technology and industry, using structural analysis, bibliometrics, research and development data, innovation surveys, trade data, IT statistics and human resources data. The papers share a common framework in terms of use of indicators, being primarily analytical, focusing on policy-relevant issues and patterns of change.
