Book excerpt: The United States, as we all know, is the world's largest exporter of goods and services, and our trade relationships as well as our leadership in science, engineering and manufacturing support between them tens of millions of good-paying American jobs. Alarmingly, our competitive edge is increasingly under attack by policies from China and Russia and from others that seek to obtain advanced technologies and intellectual property by hook or by crook. As some may recall, in 2011 this committee held a hearing on China's "indigenous innovation" policy and at that time I noted the Chinese Government has been turning up the pressure on U.S. and other foreign business to share sensitive technology with Chinese state-owned enterprises as the cost of selling in the Chinese market. This is especially true today. Making matters worse, our outdated regulatory safeguards have potential gaps. Those gaps could permit transfers to potential adversaries of the "know-how" essential to sensitive emerging technologies like artificial intelligence as well as robotics. In this global economy, turning inward is not the solution to these challenges. But we also cannot allow others to cheat U.S. employers or, worse, use our sensitive technology to undermine our own national security.

Download or read book Export Controls in Transition written by Gary K. Bertsch and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many cold war artifacts, the West's export control policies and institutions are being reevaluated after the tumult in the communist world at the end of the 1980s. Policymakers and scholars are being forced to reexamine the premises of export control policy and the very concept of export controls as a tool of national security and foreign policy. This volume brings together expert scholars and government officials who provide contrasting perspectives and address the prospects for export controls. The contributors 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. Among the topics covered are the problems the United States and the Western export regime will face in the 1990s in light of changing international political alliances and dependencies, in defining strategic exports, in enforcing export controls, and the role of the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting U.S. security by controlling technology export has long been a major issue. But the threat of the Soviet sphere is rapidly being superseded by state-sponsored terrorism; nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile proliferation; and other critical security factors. This volume provides a policy outline and specific steps for an urgently needed revamping of U.S. and multilateral export controls. It presents the latest information on these and many other pressing issues: The successes and failures of U.S. export controls, including a look at U.S. laws, regulations, and export licensing; U.S. participation in international agencies; and the role of industry. The effects of export controls on industry. The growing threat of "proliferation" technologies. World events make this volume indispensable to policymakers, government security agencies, technology exporters, and faculty and students of international affairs.

Book excerpt: In 2011, the Wall Street Journal reported 'the annual value of the retail market for surveillance tools has increased from 'nearly zero' in 2001 to around $5 billion a year." Some authorities employed this technology for political control and to facilitate internal repression, the suppression of the media and civil society, and other violations of fundamental human rights. Technologies were found to have been exported to authoritarian governments, such as Assad's Syria and Gadhafi's Libya with companies in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom facing legal challenges subsequently. It became clear that, while surveillance technology can have legitimate uses, it can also be abused for nefarious purposes and become a powerful facilitator of oppression. This paper focuses on export controls as one policy option to address this problem. A key finding of this paper is that existing export control regulations have become outdated and have not kept up with new technology. This report provides an in-depth policy and technological analysis of existing export controls as they relate to surveillance technology. Given the importance of a multilateral approach for export controls to be effective overall, it focuses on the export control regimes in three countries, Germany, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US), and was conducted as a joint project by three organizations in these three countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade plays an enormous role in economic growth and prosperity. This activity can also be used to transfer military equipment, knowledge, and technology to hostile governments and transnational terrorist and criminal organizations seeking to attack and destroy their enemies. The U.S. and other countries have used economic sanctions such as export controls to try to restrict and eliminate the transfer of weapons and financial assets to these governments and organizations. This work examines how the U.S. has attempted to restrict the export of national security sensitive equipment, finance, knowledge, and technology since World War II with varying degrees of success and failure. It also examines how multiple U.S. Government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and international government organizations seek to influence U.S. international trade, foreign, and security policies while concluding that some export controls are essential for promoting and defending U.S. national security interests.

This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a must for those who deal with United States government export control and economic sanctions regulations. Written as a user's manual rather than an academic or historical treatise, it covers in considerable detail - but in language that is intelligible to non-lawyers as well as lawyers - the Commerce Department's controls on: exports of commercial; 'dual-use' (having both commercial and military utility) and low-level military items; the State Department's controls on higher-level military items; the Treasury Department's approximately thirty different economic sanctions programs; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's controls on nuclear-related commodities; and the Energy Department's restrictions on assistance to foreign nuclear programs. Given the authors' decades of experience with these regulations, the book not only explains the legal rules but also offers advice - not necessarily reflected in the regulations themselves - about how to interpret the regulations and deal with the regulators.

The penaltiesimposed by export laws and regulations are severe.

Additionally, the privilege ofexporting can be withdrawn from firms or individuals who have violated theregulations, either for specified periods or indefinitely. Ample resources aredevoted by the government to the detection and prosecution of violators. TheDepartments of Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security, Justice, and the severalintelligence agencies cooperate in this endeavor.
