Arms control : Cooperative security in a changing environment

More than a decade after the end of the Cod War, the need to control the spread of arms remains clear even as the usefulness of traditional paradigms is increasingly called into question. The authors of Arms control thoroughly review this complex topic, exploring differing approaches to arms control, success and failures thus far, and the likelihood of future agreements. With topics ranging from the United States and Europe to Africa, Asia and the Middle East, from conventional weapons to potential threats from outer space and cyberspace the book is designed to serve as an accessible introduction to the subject of arms control, as well as a convenient, comprehensive resource for any student of international affairs.
