Abstract
This paper locates the work of Surendra Patel within the context of the efforts of the Global South to secure development-friendly reforms in the arrangements for international technology transfer. Negotiations for an International Code of Conduct on Technology Transfer during the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) were superseded by the Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement in the WTO, but the relevance of Patel's analysis is shown by the current concerns of developing countries regarding the operation of TRIPS. The contribution of Patel's work to Caribbean research on technology is identified. The second part of the paper discusses another stream of development thinking to which Patel's generation gave rise, which focused on the internal dimension. It takes as an example the development of Caribbean economic thought in the early post-colonial period, and argues that there is continuing relevance to the “dependency critique” of writers in the 1970s in the context of the shortfalls of contemporary globalization. Patel's critical perspective on technology and development has provided a valuable legacy for succeeding generations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
