This essay reviews briefly the nature and forms of East-West industrial cooperation, its evolution during the 1970s, and then assesses the outlook for the 1980s. In particular, the analysis seeks to determine what effects the worsening economic and political climate for cooperation may have had on its development in the latter half of the 1970s. The analysis draws on the author's own research as well as on the work of others in America and Europe.

\"Foreign Direct Investment in Russia: A Strategy for Industrial Recovery\" by Paul Fischer is reviewed.

The dramatic developments in Eastern Europe are of great interest to internationally minded firms in Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) countries. These developments open up what may be considered the last major frontier of international business. Several new concepts regarding the detente between the East and the West that began to emerge in the last half of the 1980s include: 1. The major initiatives have come from the USSR. 2. The new detente holds the promise of a more enduring relaxation of international tensions. 3. The Eastern commitment to the new course is not absent as it was in the 1970s. Important steps have been taken by the East to dismantle its monolithic system of \"state trading.\" For Canadian firms interested in selling to or investing in Soviet and Eastern European economies, an immediate problem involves getting their earnings out of the East. In the new high risk environment for East-West business, Canadian firms should use caution, be circumspect, and make cool calculations.
