Description
Summary:	In India, the inevitable maturation of nationhood, combined with the rush to globalization in all countries, is driving the transition to be more open to external technology and to direct investment. The country's emphasis on self-sufficiency has influenced its approach to licensing, investment, and intellectual property. India's insistence on access to technology, even proprietary information, in licensing negotiations and in establishing a local business base has been a major obstacle to foreigners. Similarly, insistence on maintaining controlling interest in investment has impeded capital flows. The new global protocols that take effect in the year 2000 are forcing a challenging change in focus. The Indian scientific and technological establishment is currently dominated by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.
