This report deals with the transfer of knowledge from the North to the South. More specifically it
deals with a Danish development aid project which aims at enhancement of research capacity in
some Central American countries. First, some difficulties connected to knowledge transfer
between North and South are discussed on a general level. It is argued that these difficulties are
connected to contradictions in the globalising learning economy: On the one hand short-term
economic calculations and speedy processes of decision-making are getting more and more
important. On the other hand competition depends more and more on dynamic efficiency rooted
in knowledge or knowledge related resources with long term characteristics.
After this some concrete experiences from a specific project aiming at building research capacity
about sustainable development strategies - the SUDESCA project – are presented. This project is
carried out within a system of innovation approach and it is argued that this concept needs to be
adapted in order to be useful in the context of developing countries. It is concluded that the
results of projects like this depends on to which extent processes of intercultural learning can be
organised and if they can be sustained for longer periods of time |
