International Issues
The significance of science and technology in the global context has grown dramatically and both private sector
and government cooperation in international science and engineering have assumed a more prominent role. The complex

more participation by the scientific communities of all nations, and more cooperation between these communities
and political decision-makers.
New security threats, globalization, and the rapid increase in health and environmental challenges have
generated a need to reassess the U.S. Government's role in international S&E and diplomatic institutions.
