Beskrivelse
This title was first published in 2000: The theme of this collection of essays is «technology transfer». The topic has three major aspects: the interchange of technologies between military and civilian applications – «spin-off», «dual use», «conversion» and «diversification» fall under this heading; the proliferation of military arms, which could occur either through arms races between developed nations or through the transfer of military technology from developed arms industries to less developed nations – «proliferation», «arms races» and «arms control agreements» fall under this heading; and the transfer of civilian technologies from developing nations to less developed nations. The expression, «North-South transfer» and the idea of «development» come under this final section. The essays offer examination of all three aspects.
