Reviews / Votes

"Thought-provoking... Although the broad relationship that emerges 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 "A volume of sweeping ambition, covering both past and contemporary trends... This compact volume offers much to anyone interested in current global trends, not least to those in the scientific, engineering and medical communities... With almost 40 years of intense professional involvement in this subject ... Skolnikoff brings an extraordinary range of both scholarship and practical experience to this debate."--American Scientist "... without doubt the best general introduction available... will undoubtedly be the general 'reference of choice' in technology and international affairs for years to come."--IEEE Spectrum "This book offers a very well written and thoughtful overview of the likely impacts of science and technology on international politics."--George H. Quester, American Political Science Review "... a remarkably good review of the full range of the science and technology of international politics."--Allan Mazur, Contemporary Sociology "A volume of sweeping ambition, covering both past and contemporary trends... This compact volume offers much to anyone interested in current global trends, not least to those in the scientific, engineering and medical communities... With almost 40 years of intense professional involvement in this subject ... Skolnikoff brings an extraordinary range of both scholarship and practical experience to this debate."--Rodney W. Nichols, American Scientist
