This book is an analysis of the negotiating and analytical failures that were a result of decontrolling a wide variety of strategic technology-- technology that was capable of directly enhancing the military power of potential adversaries. The author goes on to argue that U.S. power projection technologies will be compromised and will result in higher defense spending and enhanced danger to U.S. forces. Decontrolling Strategic Technology, 1990-1992 is unique in being the first book on this particular topic and in combining policy issues with a serious description of the roles played by specific technologies in weapons systems. Recommended for students of national security policy, negotiating, government policy making, international relations, public administration, and peace studies. Policymakers (in both legislative and executive branches of government), defense contractors, and military and intelligence agencies will also benefit from a reading of this highly focused and conclusive book.

The first historical study of export control regulations as a tool for the sharing and withholding of knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Mario Daniels and John Krige set out to show the enormous political relevance that export control regulations have had for American debates about national security, foreign policy, and trade policy since 1945. Indeed, they argue that from the 1940s to today the issue of how to control the transnational movement of information has been central to the thinking and actions of the guardians of the American national security state. The expansion of control over knowledge and know-how is apparent from the increasingly systematic inclusion of universities and research institutions into a system that in the 1950s and 1960s mainly targeted business activities. As this book vividly reveals, classification was not the only—and not even the most important—regulatory instrument that came into being in the postwar era.

Weapons proliferation is one of the most pressing global concerns following the end of the Cold War. Despite the absence of an overarching superpower conflict, armaments and related technologies have continued to spread throughout the international system. This has been particularly true in areas like East Asia and the Middle East, where the traditional two party arms races are not readily apparent. This text addresses these concerns and shortcomings using data on fourteen specific military technological innovations that diffused throughout the international system from 1960 to 1997.
