Regional technology coalitions: an essential dimension of national technological policy
Article Abstract:
The region must, side by side with the government and certain industries, play a stronger role in shaping the US' national technological policy. This is because there are three regional dimensions of technological learning, namely, its level of concentration in particular places, its location and the geographic distribution of technological spillovers. Although the Clinton-Gore technology agenda is headed in the right direction, it still has to strengthen the region's role. One way of doing this is through coalitions such as regional technology foundations and regional-sectoral development coalitions.

Which way to go? Defence technology and the diversity of 'dual-use' technology transfer
Article Abstract:
The formulation of a typology involving dual-use technology transfer mechanisms, such as straight and adaptational mechanisms, helps in the analysis of various dual-use policies. For straight mechanisms, modifications in the way defense-oriented research and development are organized are not needed. With regards to adaptational mechanisms, policies used are more ambitious and carry greater risks but may be essential in addressing problems encountered by the defense industry.

Secrets to shield or share? new dilemmas for military R&D policy in the digital age
Article Abstract:
A study of a new security dilemma faced by the US Department of Defense (DOD) to share or shield innovations, the results of their own sponsored research and development (R&D) due to growth of digital information technology is discussed. It is suggested that DOD can address this dilemma by drawing on external R&D that tests the technologies capabilities and doing technology integration at the internal level, which makes military R&D, yield more commercial benefits.
