- W1490351362 abstract "The thesis sets forth a model relating political contentionto technological development. The selective realisation ofa technical potentiality is shown to have been determinedby conflict and negotiation among shifting alliances ofstate and private-industrial entities, each attempting toimpose its requirements upon an emergent technology andthereby to dictate the precise form and pace of technicaldevelopment.The 'course of communications satellite development isexamined during the technology's formative period from1961 to 1975--as the product of struggles over technologicalcontrol. Negotiation centered upon control, andcontending modes of technical development were promotedand opposed on the basis of their perceived consequencesupon the distribution of effective control over the technology.The initial mode of satellite development lasted from1961 to 1971 and is characterised as pre-emptive underdevelopment;urgency and haste were combined with tightconstraints on the qualitative breadth allowed to technologicalarticulation. Pre-emptive underdevelopment derivedfrom an uneasy political accommodation struck among constituenciesdominant during this phases the U.S. government,American communications carrier industry and a WesternEuropean intergovernmental bloc. The reigning compromisewas directed toward expediting satellite development sufficientlyto forestall rival deployments without endangeringexisting and anticipated interests in both satelliteand competitive technologies. Technical development beneatha minimum level risked undermining the regime ofcontrol by leaving open the possibility of rival satellitesystems; but development beyond a maximum level would haveharmed the outstanding industrial and political interestsin whose defence control was sought, while subverting thecontrol regime by widening the legitimate scope for multinationalparticipation in authority over the technology.Pre-emptive underdevelopment, it is argued, was succeededlargely by the products of its own success in meetingthe policy requirements of initially dominant entitiesand in thus reducing the continued importance of satellitetechnology as a political arena and instrumentality. Restraintsupon development could therefore, in the post-1971period, be relaxed, while the growing demand for a widerarray of satellite services encouraged emergence of a moreintensive mode of technological development under the auspicesof a de-cartelised, quasi-federal and multinationalpolitical regime." @default.
