The first historical study of export control regulations as a tool for the sharing and withholding of knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Mario Daniels and John Krige set out to show the enormous political relevance that export control regulations have had for American debates about national security, foreign policy, and trade policy since 1945. Indeed, they argue that from the 1940s to today the issue of how to control the transnational movement of information has been central to the thinking and actions of the guardians of the American national security state. The expansion of control over knowledge and know-how is apparent from the increasingly systematic inclusion of universities and research institutions into a system that in the 1950s and 1960s mainly targeted business activities. As this book vividly reveals, classification was not the only-and not even the most important-regulatory instrument that came into being in the postwar era.
"A valuable and much-needed addition to the literature on export controls. This book will easily become a main reference for anyone trying to understand the development of the US export control system and the central role that knowledge flow controls have played in that process. " -- Sam Weiss Evans, Tufts University "An excellent book. It will provide an opening to a critical conversation that is needed in the United States right now on the relationship among export controls, national security, economic competitiveness, and academic freedom. This conversation will only grow in the coming decade, and this book will provide a touchstone for it. " -- Michael A. Dennis, United States Naval War College
