This book is an analysis of the negotiating and analytical failures that were a result of decontrolling a wide variety of strategic technology― technology that was capable of directly enhancing the military power of potential adversaries. The author goes on to argue that U.S. power projection technologies will be compromised and will result in higher defense spending and enhanced danger to U.S. forces. Decontrolling Strategic Technology, 1990-1992 is unique in being the first book on this particular topic and in combining policy issues with a serious description of the roles played by specific technologies in weapons systems. Recommended for students of national security policy, negotiating, government policy making, international relations, public administration, and peace studies. Policymakers (in both legislative and executive branches of government), defense contractors, and military and intelligence agencies will also benefit from a reading of this highly focused and conclusive book.
