Kirchner Science Policy PA U.S. General Accounting Office Abstract Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the use of vast resources in science and technology the United States controls--privately and publicly--as components of our foreign policy. Both in the formulation and implementation of policies and programs, which are the basis for U.S. bilateral/multi- lateral relations with other nations, scientific and technological issues and problems have gained a new significance. In the 1980s, new foreign policy initiatives, as well as policy reformulations will depend upon the abilities of policymakers to address alternatives for science and technology to support priorities and objectives. This paper proposes a framework for understanding the many dimensions of science and technology which impact on foreign policy decisionmaking. The develop- ment of foreign policy objectives dependent upon aspects of science and technology is discussed in terms of the increasing importance of focusing research and policy analysis on this issue area. *Prepared for delivery at the 21st Annual Convention of the International Studies Association, Los Angeles, California, arch 1980 The views expressed in this paper are not neces- sarily those of the U.S. General Accounting Office or the Comptroller General. I want to thank Howard Gobstein for his helpful comments on an earlier draft. 6;2) i/(53 112061 46 n d J '3L '
