The deterioration of detente in the wake of the ongoing Soviet arms
build-up has sharply focused the East-West trade debate on the
question of advanced technology transfer from the United States and
its allies to the Soviet bloc. The transfer and acquisition of high
technology have become central ingredients in super-power relations
and are key elements of any national security policy. President
Reagan, among others, has questioned the wisdom of the policies of
the 1960s and early 1970s, when trade with the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe expanded rapidly. At recent industrial nation
summits, conferees of Western countries agreed to high-level review
of their East-West technology trade policies. But in light of the
apparent West European commitment to continue and expand trade with
the East, as exemplified by the Siberian gas pipeline project, and
the growing U.S. opposition to such technology transfer, divisions
between U.S. and Western trade policies toward the East are likely
to become increasingly acute in the years ahead. Professors Bertsch
and McIntyre have selected comprehensive and representative
articles to examine the question of technology transfer from a
variety of perspectives--political, economic, and military-
emphasizing both the U.S. and the Western allies' points of view
and offering insights into the complex issues raised by the
strategic dimensions of East-West trade.
