Abstract
Hostilities may have ended, but the arms race produced by the Cold War has left an enduring legacy on both sides of the Atlantic. In the United States, certain transnational corporations which had relied heavily on defense contracts are now faced with reduced revenues and must diversify former military technology to civilian uses to stay competitive in the world market. In Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), defense diversification is only part of the story. In addition to converting from military to civilian production, industrial facilities in the region must also make the leap from state ownership into a private market economy and, in the process, remediate the enormous environmental damage caused by the previous governments' desperate sacrifice of their natural resources to keep pace with the West.
