Opis

What were the important developments in the military sector in 1988, and what progress did the world community make in their attempts to control military activity and reduce tension and the chances of war? The SIPRI Yearbook 1989 presents, in addition to its regular features, special studies on the arms trade regulations of seven weapon-exporting countries, and discusses ballistic missile proliferation in the Third World and the enhanced role of the United Nations in regional conflict resolution. An invaluable sourcebook that provides authoritative, factual information on issues of armaments and disarmament, the Yearbook will interest those involved in strategic studies, war studies, peace studies, and international relations.
