Participants discussed the structure of computer-related industries, evolving patterns of competition in g…

Global Economic Competition

The United States in cooperation with its allies has imposed controls since 1949 on exports to the Soviet bloc of commercial goods and information that would be of significant value to Warsaw Pact military systems. Since the late 1970s, there has been significantly increased concern in the United States about Soviet success in acquiring and applying this commercial Western technology, a concern…

nternational Competition in Advanced Technology: Decisions for America

A central new policy concern—international trade and competitiveness in advanced technology—is asserting itself in the United States and in each of its closest allies and trading partners. This concern is likely to remain in the forefront of American debates for many years because of its ongoing importance in questions of national security and national economic prosperity. In the United Sta…

Science, Evolution, and Creationism
