Abstract
Professor Ben-David of Hebrew University examines the different problems faced by science in a large and in a small nation, pointing out that largeness does not insure scientific accomplishment nor does smallness mean that a nation's science must be poor and backward. He demonstrates through Israel's experience that a small nation with limited resources can contribute to scientific advancement and, in the process, countervalance autarchic tendencies in the science of the large nations.Keywords
