Excerpt from Science Policy, Vol. 2: USA/USSR; Science Policy in the Soviet Union Beginning in 1972 the Governments of the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics signed a series of bilateral agreements for cooperation in various areas of science and technology, of which there are now eleven in number. The senior of these, the Agreement on Cooperation in Fields of Science and Technology, was signed by President Nixon and General Secretary Brezhnev in May 1972 and is implemented through a u.s. Joint Commission on Scientific and Technical Cooper ation, chaired on the u.s. Side by the President's Science and Technology Advisor. One of the twelve active Working Groups carrying out cooperative research under the Joint Commission is in the area of Science Policy, which in turn focuses on two major areas of mutual interest: the Planning and Manage ment of Research and Development, and Fundamental Research Systems.

The U.S.-USSR Agreement on Cooperation in the Fields of Science and Technology (the S&T Agreement), a major program of scientific and technical cooperation with the Soviet Union, brought about a broadening of the scope of cooperation and an increase in the number of scientists participating in such exchanges. This book takes a retrospective look at the U.S. experience under the agreement. The background, objectives, organizational arrangements, and evaluations of specific projects are examined within the context of the scientific community and the concerns of the two governments. The authors discuss the relative success of the agreement and propose ways in which the scientific and political benefits could be increased.
Examines the major institutional and behavioural aspects influencing scientific research in the USSR, focusing upon such problems as low morale, the lack of moral responsibility felt by the scientific community, and a central governmental resistance to new ideas and technologies.
