Description

Controls on the export of military and dual-use items were fundamental to international efforts to constrain Soviet military capabilities during the Cold War.

While essential to combating the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, these controls also impose severe costs on national economies.

Also, conflicts over export control policies often mar relations between the executive and legislative branches of government as well as between the United States and other countries.

Reluctant Champions explores how and why the United States came to adopt its export policies by examining the administrations of four presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Bush, and Clinton. Relevant and timely in light of recent U.S. sanctions on Russian nuclear insitutions Solidly researched Includes personal interviews with officials from Bush and Clinton administrations
