Recent nuclear tests in India and Pakistan make it clear that the
US can no longer continue a policy of "benign neglect" toward
India. This book engages the key issues for nonproliferation and
foreign policy that affect Indo-American relations. It addresses
under-explored areas such as missile control and space cooperation,
chemical and biological weapons, and the use of sanctions versus
incentives. This book goes beyond historical analysis to offer
practical recommendations for policymakers in both countries.
This book aims to foster a better understanding of the key policy
issues surrounding strategic trade, technology transfer and
national security in the context of East-West relations. It
presents the issues in a variety of disciplinary perspectives and
analytical foci. .
This book presents various aspects of the changing nature of
East-West relations and attempts to anticipate future trends in
East-West trade and technology transfer, dealing with the evolution
of national approaches towards trade and technology transfer.

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.
The world's second largest reserves of petroleum lie beneath the
land-locked Caspian Sea, making the Caucasus of vital importance to
both regional and global economic and security interests. This book
brings together experts from the US, Russia and the Caucasus to
examine the issues of conflict, foreign policy tradeoffs, and
security in the region. It takes into account the geopolitical
factors, Western and Russian involvement, and the interaction
between domestic and external pressures. Crossroads and Conflict
looks at the challenges faced by these countries and examines the
possibilities for future peace and prosperity in the region.

Dangerous Weapons, Desperate States explores theoretical approaches, helping to explain a broad range of perspectives on the problems posed by the threat of proliferation. With the collapse of the USSR, fifteen fledgling sates inherited a massive Soviet arsenal, unstable political systems, and desperate economies. A "sell everything" mentality threatens to result in the largest arms bazaar in human history, and this potential "fire sale" includes weapons of mass destruction. This book addresses the challenges the new independent states (NIS) of the former Soviet Union (FSU) face in controlling and monitoring their sensitive, military-related exports.

"Dangerous Weapons, Desperate States" explores the various
theoretical approaches that help explain the development of
nonproliferation export control systems in the NIS. The
contributors, coming from both the FSU states and the US, provide a
broad range of perspectives on the problems posed by the threat of
proliferation.
This volume contains a number of analyses of the present global
situation and provides a reasoned preview of likely macro-economic
developments during the next decade in the relations between East
and West. It is based on the 1988 11th Workshop on East-West
European Economic Interaction.

Like many cold war artifacts, the West's export control policies
and institutions are being reevaluated after the tumult in the
communist world at the end of the 1980s. Policymakers and scholars
are being forced to reexamine the premises of export control policy
and the very concept of export controls as a tool of national
security and foreign policy. This volume brings together expert
scholars and government officials who provide contrasting
perspectives and address the prospects for export controls.
The contributors discuss the role and function of export control
policies from a variety of perspectives--security, commerce,
diplomacy, the European region, and that of the newly
industrialized countries. Among the topics covered are the problems
the United States and the Western export regime will face in the
1990s in light of changing international political alliances and
dependencies, in defining strategic exports, in enforcing export
controls, and the role of the Coordinating Committee for
Multilateral Export Controls.
