Soviet-American technology transfer and United States national security
This dissertation analyzes the extent to which US technology transfer has contributed to the improvement of Soviet military capability - whether directly, through the diversion of commercial technology for military end uses, or indirectly, through the improvement of Soviet defense-industrial capabilities. The author examines transfers in computer, automotive, oil and gas, and missile technologies and reviews the history and development of trade controls and agreements. He concludes that national security considerations will ultimately override foreign and economic policy considerations, such as linkage and the tempering of Soviet geopolitical behavior through trade inducements. 868 references, 20 tables.
