Description
Summary:This is the first report of the North Atlantic Assembly's Sub- Committee on Advanced Technology and Technology Transfer. The report begins with a description of the Sub-Committee's areas of interest, viz. technology transfer, high technology research, and high technology and economic growth. This report concentrates on technology transfer, describing the flow of Western technology to the Eastern bloc and how this assists the Soviet Union and its allies. The report then examines the differing views on East-West technology transfer and what effect this has on the transfer of technology between Alliance nations. Next, there is a description of the relative technological performance of the United States and the Allies. Finally, the report draws together many of the themes raised in order to formulate some specific policy proposals intended to help resolve disagreements on technology transfer. These proposals would involve reorganizing the way in which Alliance nations license high technology exports, and the creation of an Alliance technology agency both to streamline the Alliance's exploitation of technology and to harmonize exportation policies.
