The USA, COCOM and Strategic Embargo. A Control of Diffusion of Dual-Use Technologies during the Cold War, with Special Emphasis on the People’s Poland

Summary/Abstract: The article systematises the current state of research into the question of strategic embargo imposed by the member states of the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls against the communist states during the Cold War. The author characterises the archival material and indicates new research perspectives. On the example of the Polish People’s Republic, he discusses the American policy of granting exceptions for the sale of the so-called “dual-use goods” (strategic goods of military and civil application) to the COMECON states. In addition, documents of Polish intelligence have been used that present discrepancies between the COCOM states on the sale of new technologies to the USSR and other states of the communist bloc.
