About the product
Illicit trafficking in small arms and sensitive technologies is not a new phenomenon in itself, but has acquired new dimensions and urgency with the end of the Cold War. This book illustrates how illicit trafficking affects both the stability of states and the safety of their populations. Curbing its development and proliferation calls for a better assessment of the phenomenon and a new way of looking at problems and identifying solutions. The debate in this book centres around such prominent issues as trafficking in small arms; delivery system technologies and components; and weapons of mass destruction. The book concludes with a set of recommendations on how to develop cooperation and provides an action-oriented agenda that can be adopted by such institutions as police forces, border patrols, judiciary and parliamentary institutions, INTERPOL and intelligence services.
