Book Description
"This paper, a summary of R-3632, is concerned with studies of imports of particular categories of Western technology by countries within the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA). It also considers how import levels reflect the general trends of Eastern European dependence on the West. The ability of the United States to effect policy changes by the embargo of technology is shown to be inhibited--statistical evidence indicates that U.S. exports account for tiny percentages of CMEA imports. The author suggests that since the flow of technology out of the West cannot be stopped, carefully managed trading of high-technology goods might be a valuable means of serving policy goals in Eastern Europe."--Rand abstracts.

Pages : 0
Book Description
The future of Europe's east is open. Can the societies of this vast region become more democratic and secure and integrate into the European mainstream? Or are they destined to become failed, fractured lands of grey mired in the stagnation and turbulence historically characteristic of Europe's borderlands? How and why is Russia seeking to influence these developments, and what is the future of Russia itself? How should the West engage?

East European Reliance on Technology Imports from the West
Author: Steven W. Popper
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Imports
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
"This report, an overview of current East European reliance on technology imports from the West, assesses the importance to the East Europeans of these imports. The study develops a measure to provide a relative scale of reliance on Western imports for a sample of high-technology commodities for each of the six East European members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA), the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia, from 1980-1984. The analysis indicates that (1) there is a great diversity in the degree of reliance on Western imports between countries and across commodities; (2) the measure of Western import reliance generally declined during this period; (3) the countries of Eastern Europe tend to rely on the West more for the less compressible higher-technology goods included in the sample than for general machinery imports, and they rely more on the CMEA than on the Soviet Union; and (4) U.S. ability to unilaterally affect Western technology deliveries to Eastern Europe is limited."--Rand abstracts.
