Opis

In light of recent international attention on the arms trade and its control, this study assesses past efforts, current proposals, and future opportunities to limit the transfer of weapons and military technology to Third World countries. The contributors, representing both supplier and recipient nations, consider all the sides of the issue, arguing that attempts at multilateral arms transfer limitations are more likely to succeed when initiated by recipients, and that there is an urgent need for confidence-building measures that will modify attitudes toward security, as well as other issues.
