Abstract

An analysis of the arguments exchanged between the US and Western European nations since the announcement of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program, showing that the importance of the SDI for Europe lies in the discussion of European security it has brought forth as opposed to the undefined strategic concept behind it or in the nature of the research to attain it. Keywords: Technology transfer.
