Abstract: | The republics of the former USSR need a new science and technology (S&T) policy. The main question concerns the relevance
of innovation studies and practical recommendations in developed countries to S&T policy in the new independent states. The
participation of the republics of the USSR in scientific research has been of a dual nature. Sharing the independent S&T policy
of the superpower, they were the periphery dependent on the center (in Moscow). Now, the S&T sphere of the former republics
should be dependentnot on the political center of the Soviet Union, but on the world science center. The inversion urges an adequate change in the
objectives, resources, and mechanism of the transformation of post-Soviet science. Moreover, new S&T policy must be based
on the specific socioeconomic situation, including the traditions of the social organization of science.
His research interests include sociology of science and science and technology policy. |
