Allies at Sixes and Sevens: Sticky Issues in Australian - US Defence Trade Controls
Authors: Roland L. Trope and Monique Witt
Volume 3, Number 2 (June 2007), pp. 73-92.
Abstract
The article explains the rationale of United States’ International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). It argues that the current Australian effort to procure waivers or relaxations of ITAR requirements is misplaced. The best way to facilitate Australian access to advanced US military technology is for Australia to tighten its regulatory and contractual measures to reduce the perceived risk of unauthorized intangible transfers of sensitive data.
