James F. Evans Collection; Axinn, This paper presents some of the basic trends, issues, and questions regarding the last four decades of international development cooperation in agriculture. The impact of technical cooperation tends to account for only a small proportion of change; the bulk of the variance being caused by internal, rather than external, forces and events. The paper reviews both multilateral and bilateral technical cooperation and then illustrates with the case of U.S. universities in international technical cooperation. It goes on to question the difference between "development" and "merely change", and asks who are the real beneficiaries: Finally, the paper suggests the following factors affecting continuity and change as forces to be analyzed with respect to any attempt at technical cooperation: biological, physical, cultural, social, economic, administrative, political, and diplomatic. The world experience of the past four decades confirms that without consideration of such a human ecology of continuity and change, well-meaning interventions in international technical cooperation are likely to have unintended consequences for both "donors" and recipients".

INTERPAKS, In: Management of transfer of farm technology. Hyderabad, India : National Institute of Rural Development, 1981. p. 85-97 (Paper presented at the National Workshop on Management of Transfer of Farm Technology; 1979 November 19-24; National Institute of Rural Development, Hyderabad, India), Emphasizes the international nature of research. Technology developed in one country often moves to another. Suggests that many international centers are the origin of partially developed technology which may be completed by several national programs. Classifies constraints as organizational related to research and the social and economic situation. Emphasizes the need for overhauling extension, training, and coordination.
