Scientifists and politicians awarded the Nobel prize have been searching for a way to escape from the recession; and there are numerous pieces of advice available, though experience proves that nations who might benefit most in a recession are ones who are able to increase their expenditure on research & development and education despite a declining GDP. With this in mind, the European Union set up a new tagern in Lisbon in 2000, one aiming to make Europe the „most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world”. It is now 2012, and the Lisbon targets had not been met by 2010 – yet Europe is still making effort, and has not given up the original objectives as laid down in the Lisbon strategy.
The scientific community has been largely concerned with information deriving from the so-called BRIC countries. China has been given special attention worldwide. In the last decade, exciting developments are to be associated with China – and, nowadays, increasingly with India.
