- Synopsis
- Despite the end of the Cold War, more countries are obtaining more sophisticated weapons from more suppliers than ever before. This is partly due to the growing number of regional and inter-ethnic conflicts around the world, but it also reflects the political and economic difficulties of weaning public and private enterprise away from the highly lucrative defence industry. Charting the history of the arms dilemma and providing an assessment of the myths and recent trends in weapons development internationally, this book describes the twin motives of welfare and security in the arms market - who buys weapons, who sells them, where they are produced, and how they are (or are not) used.
