Summary:Some of the general characteristics of the relationship between the technological developments of the past 2 cent's & international pol'al progress include: the multiplicity of technical & non-technical factors that have been responsible for major changes in the character of international relations; the unequal distribution among states of the pol'al advantages of technological change; the independent development of technology from advances in basic sci'fic knowledge, in the early yrs of the industrial revolution; the growth of technology & sci'fic knowledge at an exponential rate & the increasing costs associated with the development; & the direct mobilization of sci in support of foreign policy in WWII. Present & prospective sci'fic & technological developments pose foreign policy problems & opportunities, resulting from the relationship between gov & sci, among which are those connected with gov influence over the direction of sci'fic development, the supply of sci'ts & engineers, international sci'fic leadership & prestige, & sci'fic aid programs to underdeveloped countries.
