International Technology Transfer the Rope to Hang the West

Abstract

The United States relies on the superior technology of its defense systems as a competitive edge against overwhelming Soviet numerical advantages. There is strong evidence to suggest that the Soviet Union is rapidly reducing the U.S. technology lead through the transfer and assimilation of technology gained from the West. This paper examines the relevant issues of West to East technology transfer in order to provide awareness and appreciation of its importance to the security of the United States.
