'An attractive feature of the book is that the papers deal with both contemporary and historical aspects of technology transfer in China and other countries . . . Altogether this volume is a valuable source of information about China's rapid economic growth during the past two decades, the impact of S&T policies to industrial and technological development of developing countries in general, and the importance of foreign direct investment for the development of domestic technological capabilities.'
