Toward a New Global Framework for High Technology Competition

Towards a New Global Framework for High- Technology Competition addresses the growing importance of high technology for production and trade. Noting the ways that technology has already influenced the international trade order, experts on commercial policy and the high-technology sector herein debate the measures by which the strains on the international trading system can be reduced, and offer their specific recommendations for changes in such policy areas as research and development subsidies, dispute settlement, competition rules, antitrust and antidumping policies as well as public procurement, national defense, and restrictive business practices.This book will interest students and scholars of international economics and attract an audience of international organizations and universities.
