Martin Heidegger is, without a doubt, one of the contemporary philosophers who have more profusely meditated on the matter of the technique. For him, our time is under the unconditioned domain of the essence of modern technique (enframing: das Ge-stell) transforming the human being into a mere abstract entity devoid of any particularity and putting all possible rooting trait in question. In that direction, in the posthumous interview on the german newspaper Die Spiegel (1976), Heidegger states that he is not entirely convinced that democracy is the most appropriate political system for the current age of technique. In light of the developments described above, the present essay attempts to envision a horizon from which to set up a slot for action and production towards a political field in an era dominated by the essence of the technique and the full completion of the metaphysical project of modernity. ; Martin Heidegger es, sin duda, uno de los filósofos contemporáneos que más profusamente ha meditado sobre el asunto de la técnica. Para él, nuestro tiempo se encuentra bajo el dominio incondicionado de la esencia de la técnica moderna (lo dis-puesto: das Ge-stell) transformando al ser humano en una mera entidad abstracta desprovisto de toda particularidad y poniendo en cuestión todo rasgo de arraigo posible. En esa dirección, en la entrevista póstuma publicada en el periódico alemán Der Spiegel (1976), Heidegger afirma que no está del todo convencido que la democracia sea el sistema político más apropiado para la época técnica actual. A la luz de las cuestiones antes expuestas, el presente ensayo tiene como pretensión vislumbrar un horizonte desde el cual se pueda configurar un espacio de acción y producción para una dimensión política en una época dominada por la esencia de la técnica y la plena consumación del proyecto metafísico de la modernidad.

U.S. policymakers must come to terms with the implications of the "globalization of technology"--Specifically, the dramatic increase in crossborder technical activities of private corporations and the rapid growth and redistribution of global technical capabilities since the mid-1970s. This book presents a policy framework for reconciling our national interests with the realities of the emerging global technical enterprise. Specific recommendations address how public policies can help ensure that U.S. citizens derive a fair share of the benefits of the global technology base. The volume discusses corporate nationality and its relevance to the policy debate, the need for greater international policy cooperation and negotiation in antitrust law, and the obligations of multinational corporations and their home and host governments. It also includes a series of detailed, up-to-date "technology profiles" of eight global industries, from aircraft engines to semiconductors
