politics . . . the science race tends to keep the arms race qualitative, thus 

 keeping each side from feeling that it is sufficiently prepared to resort to trial 

 by battle. Thus, the science race may have promoted the 'deceleration of 

 history'. All over the world there are problems too important to ignore, but 

 not important enough to cause Washington and Moscow to choose to destroy 

 each other. So history slows down, the problems remain, and some of them 

 grow daily more menacing. On the other hand, Fox suggests that this com- 

 petition must look to the needs created by our national deficiencies and to the 

 requirements of less advantaged people. For the world as a whole the mini- 

 mum requirement is set by the competition of national systems not with 

 each other but with nature itself."

"This essay seeks to make the following points: (1) The search for hoHstic 

 intellectual constructs to legitimate the construction of international regula- 

 tory regimes is fruitless if it is based on some notion of naturalness suggested 

 by science itself. The purposes to be served by the use and regulation of 

 science and technologies cannot be subordinated to the scientific attributes 

 of the activities to be regulated. (2) Darwinian evolutionary propositions 

 concerning survival imperatives are not adequate guides for the definition of 

 political purposes governing the international regulation of science and 

 technology. (3) If holistic constructs are not fruitful as organizing devices 

 entirely disaggregated and fragmented solutions to technological problems 

 are self-defeating in terms of achieving political purposes. What kind of 

 knowledge do we have to suggest the creation of cognitive links among parts 

 which add up to wholes consistent with political purposes as units-to-be- 

 regulated? The identification of links demands a closer type of cooperation 

 among technical experts and political decision-makers than practiced 

 hitherto. Hence a notion of the pubUc interest is advanced to suggest the 

 identification of links through new types of institutions and procedures for 

 combining scientific with political knowledge. (4) Wholes to be identified 

 through such processes can be analyzed in terms of the language of com- 

 plexity and decomposability, leading to various notions of interdependence. 

 Pohtical purposes and technological developments are discussed jointly to 

 show how a given concern can be characterized by different kinds of inter- 

 dependencies at different times. 'Interdependence' then emerges as a multi- 

 dimensional and dynamic device for identifying wholes. (5) Various types of 

 interdependence are matched to various forms of international organizational 

 cooperation and the evolution of organizations is examined in terms of 

 learning to manage interdependence. (6) By combining organizational forms 

 with changing political purposes we arrive at provisional wholes called 

 'technology-task-environments' which permit the scientist and the politician 

 to contribute jointly to the management of interdependence issues triggered 

 by changing technologies and scientific ideas until the evolving mix of 

 knowledge and purpose leads them to construction of alternative (but 

 equally temporary) wholes."
