Theatre in Search of Social Change: The Relative Significance of Different Theatrical Approaches

Abstract

of inputs devoted to, or outputs derived from, innovative activity. In a more positive vein, their data indicate that inventive activity and technology imports are complements, not substitutes. The penultimate substantive chapter is an extensive statistical study of the relationship between RD their origins, from nationals or foreigners, and from different industries; and their association with various measures of macroeconomic activity. The data are numerous, in most cases coming from two developed countries (United States and Japan), four Mediterranean countries (Spain, Israel, Greece, and Portugal), three NICs (South Korea, Singapore, and Brazil), and ten poorer developing countries (Turkey, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Colombia, and Kenya). Regarding the last group, Evenson finds a strong correlation between investment intensities and development (p. 352), where investment intensity is measured as national expenditures on RD and (2) between development success and (a second subjective measure of the extent of piracy of patents, the NICs again being outstanding. In short, Evenson and Ranis's volume provides the equivalent of eight short review articles on various aspects of development theory and technological practice, as well as five journal articles reporting original research on the latter subject. The former chapters will be of interest to students, the latter to practitioners. Thus, like all good books, it will draw a varied readership.
