The Power of Ideology

More about the book

The book explores the dynamics between developing nations and multinational corporations, particularly in high technology, questioning whether dependence is a permanent state or can be strategically managed. Through a comparative analysis of Argentina and Brazil, Adler highlights effective governmental policies for achieving autonomous technological development. He argues that the role of intellectual and technological elites is crucial in shaping the success of these policies, offering a significant counterpoint to prevailing structural theories in international relations.
