Traffic in Arms Presented by Christopher Serpell
Since the early 50s international arms sales have increased at a rapid rate involving more and more countries as exporters of weapons. Today the sale of arms is a substantial part of legitimate foreign trade, although most of the business is conducted in secret.
What is the nature and extent of the arms trade? Do the incentives to sell weapons outweigh the pressures for control? Can there be effective international controls? Contributions from:
