INTRODUCTION 



Most of the topics included in the series of studies on Science, 

 Technology, and American Diplomacy continue to receive considerable 

 attention by the Congress, the pubHc, and academic and other re- 

 searchers. An increasing number of journal articles, books, and legis- 

 lative proceedings address these topics. 



A principal purpose of this bibliography is to provide bibliographic 

 references to relevant materials which have appeared since the pub- 

 lication of each study in the series. An attempt is made to cite mate- 

 rials which describe the evolution of the case or issue and which may 

 collectively express contrasting points of view about programs or 

 policies to deal with an issue. Each study in the series has extensive 

 footnotes for primary materials consulted. Therefore this bibliog- 

 raphy does not attempt to embrace citations for source materials used 

 to prepare each of the separate studies. It does include a few signifi- 

 cant items from the first (1970) bibliography published in this series: 

 Science, Technology, and American Diplomacy: A Selected, Annotated 

 Bibliography of Articles, Books, Documents, Periodicals, and Reference 

 Guides. 



A second purpose of the bibliography is to provide references for 

 issues which were touched upon but not emphasized in preparing the 

 analytical reports, and which have now surfaced as relevant compo- 

 nents of the interface between diplomacy and science and technology. 



Each author of a study in the series has suggested items to be 

 included in this bibliography. Additional bibliographic services and 

 primary sources were also used. A brief discussion of these is given for 

 those readers interested in obtaining future publications dealing with 

 the subjects covered in the bibliography. 



The Congressional Research Service's computerized data bases, 

 accessible through the SCORPIO system, were a major information 

 source, primarily for journal articles and Government reports.* 

 Citations for congressional publications were obtained from committee 

 calendars, annual reports, and the Congressional Information Service 

 Index. Several journals which customarily publish articles or book 

 reviews relevant to the topics covered yielded many citations. These 

 are : Foreign Affairs, Perspective, the Annals of the American Academy 

 of Political and Social Sciences, and the American Political Science 

 Review. All entries for papers cited with an FAR number were taken 

 from the bibliographic series Foreign Affairs Research Papers Available, 

 published monthly by the Foreign Affairs Research Documentation 

 Center, Ofl5ce of External Research, Department of State. This 

 office lends available papers to Government officials.
