This book explores the evolution of the current U.S. research and development enterprise, asks whether this organization remains appropriate to the challenges we face today, and proposes strategies for better preparing for the global technology race shaping our future.Across the globe, nation states and societies, as well as corporations, technology developers, and even individuals, find themselves on the front lines of a global technology race. As we approach the third decade of this century, the outlines of the contest have become clear. Spending on research and development, such new methods as innovation centers, and inclusion of powerful technologies into governments and society are occurring at a rapid pace. Technology winners and losers are emerging.How did we arrive at this global technology fight? How and where will it be waged? What can we do to prepare for the future? In 10 chapters, Tech Wars addresses these questions and more, examining the conditions that have led us to this point and introducing new strategies, organizational changes, and resource allocations that will help the United States respond to the challenges that are on the horizon.

P> Review Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. General readers. Choice Published On: 2023-05-01Dan Gersteins Tech Wars is a must-read for U.S. policy-makers, tech sector leaders, and policy wonks. This timely and important book explains why the U.S. technology competition-particularly with China-is central to American economic growth, diplomatic heft, and military advantage. The United States must forge new partnerships with industry and with allied countries to succeed in this existential struggle, and this book offers concrete recommendations for how to do so. James N. Miller, Former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Published On: 2022-06-16Gerstein dispassionately appraises the American system for technology development and passionately argues for making it more systematic. En route he educates every reader. Richard Danzig, 71st Secretary of the Navy and Senior Fellow, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Published On: 2022-06-16Dan Gerstein takes the reader on an important journey from U.S. science and technology leadership following World War II to the highly competitive, largely unstructured, private-sector-led, global R&D environment of today. He concludes the United States is not prepared to wage this tech war and that fundamental changes are necessary to posture us for success in the future. This book should be required reading for those seeking to understand how R&D will impact future U.S. economic prosperity and national security. David Olive, Founder & Principal, Catalyst Partners Published On: 2022-06-16This book explains the most complex security issue we face today. The role of technology largely developed outside the government in shaping national powers and determining the outcomes of the competition between China and the democracies. It offers a close and well-informed look at the American technological enterprise and ends with bold recommendations for federal reorganization. It offers new ways of thinking about the central problem of maintaining United States economic prosperity and national security. James A. Lewis, Senior Vice President, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington DC Published On: 2022-06-16With the skill of a practitioner-scholar Dan Gerstein sounds the alarm on why the U.S. isnt ready for "Tech Wars." Framed as a whole society project, the book explores how the U.S. finds itself in a tech deficit and charts a path to ensure a prosperous future. The book is a call to action for leaders across government and industry. Derek S. Reveron, U.S. Naval War College and Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs Published On: 2022-06-16Tech wars and national competitions are expanding exponentially and now threaten American technology leadership, and therefore our future prosperity and national security. How we navigate these challenges and, in some cases, existential threats will determine our fate. This prescient book lays out the contours and seriousness of the threats and makes essential recommendations for how to respond, making it a must read for serious participants in the tech world and policy makers alike. James Dougherty, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations Published On: 2022-06-21 Book Description This book explores the evolution of the current U.S. research and development enterprise, asks whether this organization remains appropriate to the challenges we face today, and proposes strategies for better preparing for the global technology race shaping our future.
