Bruce D. Larkin(USA) is Professor of Politics at the University of Califor­nia at Santa Cruz. He is a specialist in arms control and Chinese foreign policy. He is author of Nuclear Designs: Great Britain, France, and China in the Global Governance of Nuclear Arms (Brunswick, NJ: Transactions, 1996).
 
Patricia Lewis (UK) is Director of United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva. She was a consultant to the UK Government during the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty negations, and has written extensively about the verification of arms control and disarmament treaties.
 
Jordi Molas-Gallart (Spain) is an economist and fellow at the Science Policy Research Unit of the University of Sussex, UK.  He has written extensively on defence industrial policy, conversion and diversification strat­egies, and technology policy, including Military Production and Innovation in Spain (Newark, NJ: Gordon & Breach, 1992). Together with Julian Robinson, he recently conducted an assessment of dual technologies in the context of European security and defence for the European Parliament.
 
Carlo Pietrobelli (Italy) is Professor in Development Economics in the Department of Economy and Institutions of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. He has written extensively about technology transfer and industrial partnerships for developing countries. He has published Industry, Com­petitiveness and Technological Capabilities in Chile: A New Tiger from Latin America? (London and New York: Macmillan and St Martin’s Press, 1998).
 
Dietrich Schroeer (USA) is Professor of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has taught courses on science and policy and on science, technology and military affairs for many years. He wrote the text­ book Science. Technology and the Nuclear Arms Race (London: Wiley, 1984). and edited the 1996 ISODARCO Proceedings on The Weapons Legacy of the Cold War (Aldershot: Ashgate, 1997).
 
Dingli Shen (China) is a physicist by training, with post-doctoral studies on arms control at Princeton University. He is currently Director of the Office of International Programs and Deputy Director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai. At Fudan University. he launched in 1991 and has since directed China’s first university-based Program on Arms Control and Regional Security. He teaches course and conducts re­ search on international relations, including acting as the chief editor of the yearbook China Development Report. He has helped to initiate the Shanghai Initiative, a four-nation dialogue on global and regional nuclear arms con­trol and disarmament, involving high-level participants from China, India.
