| Summary: | Globalization imposes new demands and new opportunities in access to knowledge and its applications. Knowledge networking can accelerate this access and the sharing of information about technology choices. Developing countries thus can “leapfrog” directly to “frontier” technologies which are more effective, cleaner, and less costly than the usual infrastructure. To seek these benefits, Professor Nazli Choucri of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Political Science offers a “no-risk” strategy for knowledge networking, technology advancement and capacity-building.
