Abstract

In A.K.N. Reddy's article in the bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, April 1978, Energy Options for the Third World, he advocated the application of science and technology to the tasks of Third World development, particularly to the provision of new forms of energy technologies for economic development. Rudolph and Lenth comment on ideas about India's energy strategies as viewed by Reddy in the article. Rudolph and Lenth say the energy situation in India is not as desperate as Reddy indicates, and the solutions he proposes are not as new or unique as he presents them to be. The analytical framework presented by Reddy does not take account of the complex motives and objectives or the ambiguous consequences that accompany attempts to achieve social and economic development, the authors say.
