Only since the 1970s have the East European Socialist countries
(known collectively as Comecon) participated in the international
exchange of technology as exporters. In this book, Drs. Monkiewicz
and Maciejewicz analyze the technology export performance of the
Comecon countries. They begin by defining the nature of technology
as a commodity, analyzing the structural characteristics of the
international market, and outlining both the cost and benefits of
technology export. Later chapters provide an overview of Comecon
technological policies in the 1970s, with particular attention to
the export-import factor and Comecon regional technological
cooperation. In-depth analysis is presented through case studies of
the experiences of Poland and Czechoslovakia. The book concludes
with a discussion of the implications of technology export by
socialist countries, particularly its potential impact on existing
global patterns of technological dependence and domination.
