Summary

The end of the Cold War has created a new group of technology providers inthe international marketplace less inclined to exhibit self-restraint inexporting sensitive dual-use technologies that can contribute to the globalproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missile systems.John C. Baker focuses on the technology export challenges posed by the nuclearand aeropsace industries inherited by Russia and Ukraine, which are driven byeconomic difficulties to export sensitive dual-use technologies as an attractivesource of gaining hard currency. He proposes an ambitious non-proliferationstrategy that takes advantage of new opportunities for using internationaleconomic and political incentives to discourage irresponsible export behaviourby these former Soviet defence enterprises while seeking long-term changes inthe non-proliferation attitudes of enterprise managers and governmentleaders.
