I am delighted to share a quite useful short essay,  James Henry Bergeron (editor), and Geoffrey Goodale, Raul Rangel Miguel, and Jonathan Meyer (authors): "National Security Law," The Year in Review (Annual Publication of the ABA International Law Section 59:409-413 (2025). It does an excellent job of examining the efforts of the late Biden Administration (Executive Order 14105, 88 Fed Reg 54867 (9 August 2023) to evolve rules protecting U.S. national security by outbound investments in sensitive technology sectors--the effect of which is to manage the flow and quality of tech transfer from out of the U.S. with national security at the center and with China as its focus (Provisions Pertaining to U.S. Investments in Certain National Security Technologies and Products in Countries of Concern, 89 Fed Reg  90398 (15 Nov 2024). The analysis is quite useful especially for those interested in the continuities in U.S. policy beneath the surface of political performance and that passes, in some form, from one administration to another.
