Tightening Your Grip : The Unintended Consequences Of Export Control Policies, Keon C. Weigold
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation examines the effects that policies instituted to restrict the diffusion of technology between countries have on the development of technology and international relations.

Two broad approaches to Russian foreign policy – nationalism and pragmatism – present distinct views on Russia’s international role. Nationalism incorporates strong anti-Western and neo-imperialistic ideas with emphasis on Russia’s unique international mission and advocates a confrontational stance. Pragmatism conceptualizes Russia as a great world power but proposes a concert-based foreign policy that avoids a direct military confrontation. Both schools of thought are prevalent in Russia’s foreign policy discourse, and their ideas …
