This article argues that the role of the state is vitally important in the process of institu tionalization of modern science and technology in non- Western societies. The sustained institutionalization of modern science and technology in a given society depends primarily on three sets of conditions: the prevalence of a creative, competitive, and relatively autonomous internal environment for the doing of science; the cultivation of dynamic linkages between the society's institutions of scientific work and those of the global knowledge system; and the establishment of appropriate and adaptive linkages between its own knowledge system and its knowledge-utilizing regions of development. The nature and degree of development in these spheres of institutionalization will significantly depend on how the strategic political, bureaucratic, and intellectual elites in non- Western societies perceive the nature, role, and significance of modern science and technology. The cases of the institutionalization of modern science and technology in Japan and India provide some justifications to this claim
