The Deemed Export Rule In The Era Of Globalization, December 20, 2007 (153 pages, PDF): “It is a reality that the United States no longer holds the dominant position in science and technology that it recently enjoyed. Leadership in science and technology today is a globally shared and highly interdependent perishable asset. Individual United States firms, along with their international competitors, are building global research enterprises. United States universities are establishing campuses abroad, creating joint educational programs with foreign institutions, and partnering with foreign faculty in the conduct of cutting-edge research. World-class research facilities are being constructed in China in the field of information technology; in Singapore in biology; in France in nuclear fusion; in Switzerland in particle physics; and in other countries in these and many other fields. First-rate universities are being established in China, India and elsewhere, and are attracting renowned researchers from nations around the world, including the United States. Saudi Arabia recently established a graduate-level research university with an opening-day endowment matching that built by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) over 142 years.”
