Description

The Small Arms Survey 2005: Weapons at War is dedicated to issues surrounding armed conflict, including the sourcing of weapons to conflict areas, weapons use, conflict deaths, and post-conflict disarmament initiatives. This edition also provides an overview of small arms ammunition as well as new and updated information on small arms production, stockpiles, transfers, and international measures. It presents two case studies: one exploring the concept of 'gun culture' in Kosovo, the other focusing on the Central African Republic. In addition, this volume surveys representations of small arms and armed violence in contemporary art. The Small Arms Survey is the principal international source of impartial and reliable information on all aspects of small arms. Its blend of information and analysis makes it an indispensable resource for policy-makers, officials, and non-governmental organizations. The Small Arms Survey is an independent research project located at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. The project has an international staff with expertise in security studies, political science, international public policy, law, economics, development studies, conflict resolution, and sociology, who work closely with a worldwide network of researchers and partners.
