Description
The "Small Arms Survey" is an authoritative guide to all aspects of the problem of small arms and light weapons. It focuses on both small arms themselves (production, transfers, stockpiles), and on the processes and consequences of their world-wide proliferation. Specific sections deal with issues such as arms brokering, the role of small arms and light weapons in particular conflict zones, current international initiatives and projects to stem their proliferation, and with broader social and economic effects (crime, public health, development). Its combination of data and analysis shold make it a useful tool for policy-makers, activists and researchers around the world. Readership: Scholars and Students of Strategic Studies, International Relations, Defence Strategy and Research, policy-makers, activists and researchers.
