Finding Common Ground: U.S. Export Controls in a Changed Global Environment

Panel on the Future Design and Implementation of U.S. National Security Export Controls,National Academy of Sciences,National Academy of Engineering,Institute of Medicine

Protecting U.S. security by controlling technology export has long been a major issue. But the threat of the Soviet sphere is rapidly being superseded by state-sponsored terrorism; nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile proliferation; and other critical security factors. This volume provides a policy outline and specific steps for an urgently needed revamping of U.S. and multilateral export controls. It presents the latest information on these and many other pressing issues: the successes and failures of U.S. export controls, including a look at U.S. laws, regulations, and export licensing; U.S. participation in international agencies; and the role of industry; the effects of export controls on industry; and the growing threat of proliferation technologies. World events make this volume indispensable to policymakers, government security agencies, technology exporters, and faculty and students of international affairs.
