Beskrivning

The particular emphasis of this text is on questions of conversion from military to civil purposes, and on the scope today for technology transfer between the traditional eastern and western sides of the Cold War. The book contains contributions from both academic analysts and practitioners with considerable experience of dealing with these issues. It therefore offers a unique combination of theoretical analysis and well founded case studies, together with important shared experiences between the very different economic circumstances found on the two sides of the old East-West divide.
