Based on data for nanotechnology research publications and patents and suggesting a framework for analyzing the development of R&D networks, we identify three potential strategies of nanotechnology research collaboration. Then, we seek to identify the balance of emphasis upon each of the three strategies by mapping the current research profile of those four countries. In general, we find that they are implementing policies and programs to develop nanotechnologies but differ in their collaboration strategies, institutional involvement, and level of development. On the other hand, we find that they coincide in having a modest industry participation in research and a low level of commercialization of nanotechnologies.Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:04:31 -0300http://www.nadaimportante.org/873/http://www.nadaimportante.org/808/<a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9198a47c-7214-11dc-8960-0000779fd2ac.html">Financial Times</a>: "Cristina Fernández [presidential candidate for Argentina, wife of President Néstor Kirchner] has devoted so much time to foreign travel during her election campaign that it almost looks as though she is running for a job at the United Nations, not the presidency of Argentina."Thu, 04 Oct 2007 19:44:31 -0300http://www.nadaimportante.org/808/http://www.nadaimportante.org/799/<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/25/world/americas/25argentina.html">NYTimes</a>: In Argentina, the Campaign of ‘Queen Cristina’ Focuses on Global RelationsTue, 25 Sep 2007 17:14:29 -0300http://www.nadaimportante.org/799/http://www.nadaimportante.org/764/<a href="http://www.gksoft.com/govt/en/ar.html" target="_blank">Governments on the WWW: Argentina</a>Wed, 11 Jul 2007 20:23:10 -0300http://www.nadaimportante.org/764/http://www.nadaimportante.org/763/Unfortunately, also this government...
