On August 1, 1975, thirty-five nations solemnly signed a pledge--the Helsinki Accords--to maintain one code of human rights law. This book surveys the performance of these countries in upholding the rights important to scientists--the rights to education, work, communication, expression, travel, assembly, association, reputation and intellectual achievement. It describes where and when the rights were observed or violated and what scientists could do to promote a fuller observance in the future.

In order to explore a broad systemic response to the challenge of globalization, the authors of this unique book critically examine the case of Crompton Greaves Limited, a leading Indian firm in the electrical industry.
