Abstract

Scarce resources, technological dynamics, and political pressures, combined with the converging demand profiles of civilian and military technologies, all support the recourse to a 'dual-use strategy,' whereby a technology is developed first for the civilian sector and then used for military purposes. For some planners 'dual-use' is a magic word that keeps the paths for further military-technological developments open. In Western Europe, as well as in the United States, the dual-use strategy aims at combining military interests in cheap and effective armament technologies with commercial interests in the high-tech sector. Research programs like EUREKA, ESPRIT and EUCLID have been designed as dual use from the beginning.
