Abstract:

I have been living and doing research In a so-called "developing country" for the past eight, months, and I have passed through several others in that category en route from Korea to Baden-Baden. To begin with, perhaps I should describe for you briefly the kinds of research that are being done in these areas and some of the problems and difficulties they face. Please bear in mind that my remarks are based chiefly on very brief visits to some eight countries of Asia and must be taken as overall impressions, only, since such stopover calls hardly qualify one as an expert on research abroad and many of you are undoubtedly more familiar than I with the research situation there.
