Hardback
Description
The value of major conventional weapons imported by Third World countries between 1971 and 1985 was quadruple that for the previous two decades.
This spectacular increase reflects changes in the economic and technological relations between industrialized nations and the Third World, as well as having profound political repercussions. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the flow of major conventional weapons during the period 1971-85.
It analyses both the suppliers and the main Third World recipients, describing the inflow of arms and the reasons underlying it.
The facts that propel this arms trade are assessed in a concluding chapter which also analyses the structural changes that have occurred in the arms markets and their implications. The detailed statistics and arms trade registers for the period (in some cases from 1951), and the introduction of a new SIPRI price system for evaluating the arms trade, make this a valuable reference work.
