Abstract
Perhaps the most striking feature of the problems we have just encountered about world science is how modern European science has developed within European geographical boundaries, and expanded outside its geographical area towards others continents. Our problem is therefore to explain this expansion and importation process (export and import problem). It also seems important to consider the double-sided nature of the process; that is to say, the dissemination mechanisms, the second aspect being the local emergence of the national scientific traditions in non-European areas within the standards of Western science.
