Description and Table of Contents
Description
East-West trade and technology transfer have always been linked to the issue of "national security". Western governments have therefore been reluctant to leave East-West trade to the interplay of "free market forces", choosing instead to subject interbloc commerce to use for their national political and strategic ends. Over time, East-West trade has been instrumental to the achievement of a wide range of policy objectives, from "trading the Soviets into civilization" to stimulating an already expected Soviet clampdown. Peter van Ham identifies many different Western doctrine on East-West trade, demonstrating that two basic belief systems underly these doctrines.
