A roundtable reconsideration of the Pentagon Papers and the legal precedents its publication yielded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

i puts forward the claim that:...state activism in [the high technology private sector] has evolved from distinctive foundations in national security exigencies that gave rise to an industrial complex, a national security state [NSS], that was new to the postwar era. Weiss argues that the U.S. did not, and likely could not, withdraw from a desire to expand state power into the areas of technological development and innovation in the post-war period, but that in contrast to the "garrison state" of the USSR, anti-statist values instead pushed these influences into relationships within the private sector. In this way, Weiss argues that the relationship between the state and private sector is one of a "governed interdependence", where state actors have been able to insert state goals into their collaborations with non-state actors, and subsequently, into the development of technological products, innovation, and development - making the "American state no less active than many other states in governing the market", but "far less conventional in its activism, and thereby less visible" (p. 20).
