between science and technology and international affairs is a
dynamic one, Skolnikoff argues that the process of change is
evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Skolnikoff is talented at
weaving the argument between science and technology and
international developments.... Full of stimulating and informative
ideas."---Margaret Sharp, Nature

and international affairs for years to come."
