520 "In Containing Russia's Nuclear Firebirds, Glenn E.
Schweitzer explores the life and legacy of the
International Science and Technology Center in Moscow. He
makes the case that the center's unique programs can serve
as models for promoting responsible science in many
countries of the world. Never before have scientists
encountered technology with the potential for such huge
impacts on the global community, both positive and
negative. For nearly two decades following the Soviet
Union's breakup into independent states, the ISTC has
provided opportunities for underemployed Russian weapon
scientists to redirect their talents toward civilian
research. The center has championed the role of science in
determining the future of civilization and has influenced
nonproliferation policies of Russia and other states in
the region. Most important, the center has demonstrated
that modest investments can encourage scientists of many
backgrounds to shun greed and violence and to take leading
roles in steering the planet toward prosperity and peace.
Schweitzer contends that the United States and other
western and Asian countries failed to recognize the
importance, over time, of modifying their donor-recipient
approach to dealing with Russia. In April 2010 the Russian
government announced that it would withdraw from the ISTC
agreement. After expenditures exceeding one billion
dollars, the ISTC's Moscow Science Center will soon close
its doors, leaving a legacy that has benefited Russian
society as well as partners from thirty-eight countries.
Schweitzer argues that a broader and more sustained
movement is now needed to help prevent irresponsible
behavior by dissatisfied or misguided scientists and their
patrons"--|cProvided by publisher.
520 "In the aftermath of the Soviet Union's breakup into
fifteen independent states, the governments of the United
States, the European Community, Japan, and Russia
established the International Science and Technology
Center in Moscow to address the dangers of nuclear
scientists "on the loose." The purpose of the ISTC (also
known as the Moscow Science Center) was to prevent the
illicit flow of dangerous weapons expertise out of the
former Soviet Union by helping its underemployed nuclear,
biological, chemical, and aerospace weapons scientists
redirect their skills to peaceful civilian endeavors.
Since its creation in 1994, the ISTC has provided more
than $1.3 billion to support 2,740 projects involving
nearly 100,000 scientists from the former Soviet Union and
international partners. Thirty-nine governments have
become part of the ISTC family. Somewhat unexpectedly, in
April 2010, the Russian government announced that it would
withdraw from the agreement establishing the ISTC,
contending that the Center had accomplished its mission.
The Moscow Science Center will close its doors in 2015,
effectively terminating ISTC activities based in Russia.
Schweitzer examines the impact and effectiveness of the
ISTC and emphasizes opportunites for the internal
community to draw on its legacy"--|cProvided by publisher.
