CRM addresses the social aspects of crew interaction; it does not
address the technical aspects.


Wrong.

It is intended to reduce the number of
errors that are made because of conflicts among crew members.


Again, wrong.

However, the division of technical duties is a different issue.


No, it isn't.

Furthermore, CRM is mostly an American phenomenon


Not so much "American" as "Western." And the safety record that goes
along with it speaks for itself.

whereas the division of duties exists everywhere
where the aircraft are flown.


No, it really doesn't. Every company does it differently; even those
operators who seem to crash a 737 in Africa damn near every month.
