DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlmost overnight, the massive military-industrial assets of the Soviet Union came under the jurisdiction of fifteen states instead of one established government. While only four states inherited weapons of mass destruction, most of the fifteen states of the former Soviet Union can produce sensitive materials and equipment. Because all the states se

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe successor states of the former Soviet Union have enormous stocks of weapons-usable nuclear material and other militarily significant commodities and technologies. Preventing the flow of such items to countries of proliferation concern and to terrorist groups is a major objective of U.S. national security policy. This book reviews the effectiveness of two U.S. programs directed to this objective. These programs have supported the efforts of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakstan in upgrading the physical protection, control, and accountability of highly enriched uranium and plutonium and strengthening systems to control the export of many types of militarily sensitive items.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFar from producing a new era of peace, tranquillity and respect for international law, the ending of the Cold War has fuelled fresh concerns about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. These anxieties mounted both during and after the Gulf War, and were compounded by the revelations of the UN inspectors in Iraq and the belated Russian admission that scientists in the former Soviet Union had been engaged in a covert biological weapons programme for some twenty years. This book examines the changing pattern both of incentives and of disincentives for such proliferation, including the utility of these weapons at state and sub-state levels. It also considers how other states should respond, assessing the achievements and limitations of arms and export controls, the evolving concept of deterrence, the debates about counter-proliferation policies and the problems in developing defences that will effectively counter an inherently dynamic phenomenon.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection of essays explores the problem of nuclear, chemical and missile proliferation. Contributors discuss the role of export controls in preventing or delaying proliferation, and contrast the relative benefits of export controls with their costs to industry and to international political relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenges posed by export controls to the US-European Community partnership, and to the effects of European unity following unity in 1993. Contributors: Bill Richardson, John Harvey, Michael Elleman, Matthias Dembinski, Benoit Morel, David Fischer, Jeff Bingaman, Jan Hoekema, Harald Muller, William Burns, Richard Kauzlarich, and Reinhard Rode.
