Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of dependence, particularly in the context of international scientific and technological interactions. It is argued that dependence is more than mere interaction or transaction, and it consists of a crippling loss of freedom of action on the part of the dependent because of his lack of skill and capacity, because of his feeling of indebtedness, and because of the limited opportunities for independent decision making. It is then pointed out that the actual onset of the feeling of dependence is due primarily to psychological factors. Such feeling of dependence creates frustration and hatred toward the country on which the dependent country depends. Dependence also creates a feeling of lethargy and pessimism. It is finally suggested that efforts to end dependence by legislation are futile, and that the only effective road toward lessening dependence is the evolution of an indigenous infrastructure in the dependent countries.
