The author distinguishes three tiers of arms producers, defined by such factors as defence production base, military research and development capabilities, and dependence upon arms exports. These factors interact with underlying political, economic, and military motivations to drive states to produce and export arms, and provide the force which directs the international trade in arms. The author discusses the United States and the Soviet Union, the European arms suppliers, and the emerging arms producers of the developing world. Although it concentrates on the contemporary period, the book covers a wide historical span, from the development of military technologies in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to twentieth-century revolutions in weaponry. By focusing on the processes of technological innovation and diffusion, the author shows the evolutionary nature of the spread of military technologies, and situates the current arms transfer system in a broad historical context.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50356571570449,"sku":"CIN0521558662G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50734259175697,"sku":"GOR001931669","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50979048816913,"sku":"GOR014158039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003135623441,"sku":"NIN9780521558662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52151265624337,"sku":"NLS9780521558662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521558662.jpg?v=1751008086"},{"product_id":"critical-security-studies-book-keith-krause-9780816628575","title":"Critical Security Studies","description":"Critical Security Studies was first published in 1997.Many of the most interesting issues in post-Cold War international relations can be usefully examined through a prism labeled “security studies.” These issues include challenges to the state from “below” by ethnic and regional fragmentations, and from “above” by global economic, cultural, and environmental dynamics. This new volume brings together a diverse group of analysts seeking to explore these issues and contribute to the development of a self-consciously critical perspective within security studies. The contributors to this volume offer a range of essays that share the goal of establishing the grounds for a broad and reflective dialogue about the nature of security and the practice of security. Chapters address such topics as security-building in postapartheid South Africa, the discourse of security in post-Cold War Europe, the construction of the problem of weapons proliferation, and the role of multilateral institutions in peace and security operations.Operating on both conceptual and practical levels, Critical Security Studies directly engages substantive issues and questions of contemporary security studies in order to contribute to a theoretical reevaluation and practical reorientation of the field.

Comparative practices are integral to global security politics. The balance of power politics, status competitions and global security governance would not be possible without them. Yet, they are rarely treated as the main object of study.    Exploring the varied uses of comparisons, this book addresses three key questions:    •\tHow is comparative knowledge produced?    •\tHow does it become politically relevant?    •\tHow do comparative practices shape security politics?    This book takes a bold new step in uniting disparate streams of research to show how comparative practices order governance processes and modulate competitive dynamics in world politics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51034035388689,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51034038403345,"sku":"NIN9781529241839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52111075049745,"sku":"NGR9781529241839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1529241839.jpg?v=1750717899"},{"product_id":"arms-and-the-state-book-keith-krause-9780521394468","title":"Arms and the State","description":"This book analyses the structure and motive forces that shape the global arms transfer and production system.
