About this title

Synopsis

This book examines the development of the international arms trade after the Cold War and looks at efforts - national and international - to regulate or restrain the market. The book describes the size and dynamics of the international market for weapons and related technology. Who are the main suppliers and purchasers of conventional arms? What is meant by 'dual use' technology? What effect - if any - has the so-called 'peace dividend' had upon the manufacture and export of lethal weaponry? Much has been said, since the end of the Cold War, of the need to regulate the market. But what rationale and mechanisms are currently available to supervise and restrain the traffic in arms and technology internationally? And how are such initiatives viewed by the 'Rest'; states and cultures which do not necessarily share Western values and priorities? Is weapon-related innovation now uncontrollable? In Britain, what are likely to be the implications of the Scott Report into arms and technology exports to Iraq? Controlling the Arms Trade is an informed and authoritative pointer to future market trends and a clear and concise guide to the problem of arms export controls.

Store Description

We have been selling academic and scholarly books in Cambridge since 1996. Today we occupy an old warehouse on Coldhams Road, adjacent to the railway tracks leading to Ely, not too far from the airport. The site is called Restwell House. We are an internet bookshop, but visitors are very welcome. Some drop off a few boxes of unwanted books, some pick up a book to save on the postage, some just drop by to get to know us, or want to take advantage of the many bargains on our wooden shelves bookshop, which is distinct from the internet stock offered on the web. Our mission has always been to find new homes for the books we are looking after. If we cannot sell them online, we offer them at very low prices to our visitors. We try to give you a serious and dedicated service which is focussed on the individuality of each single book: its condition, its origin, sometimes even its smell. You come to us for real books, not just instances of ISBNs.
