Highlighting economic and political changes in Eastern Europe, this volume contains a series of essays which discuss the role and function of export control policies from a variety of perspectives - security, commerce, diplomacy, the European region and that of the newly industrialized countries.

This volume contains a number of analyses of the present global situation and provides a reasoned preview of likely macro-economic developments during the next decade in the relations between East and West. It is based on the 1988 11th Workshop on East-West European Economic Interaction.
