"Taking Aim at the Arms Trade" takes a critical look at the ways in
which NGOs portray the arms trade as a problem of international
politics and the strategies they use to effect change. While NGOs
have been pivotal in bringing the suffering caused by the arms
trade to public attention and documenting its negative impacts on
human rights, conflict, security and development around the world,
their overall activity has the perverse effect of justifying the
status quo in the arms trade. They unintentionally contribute to
the generation of consent for a hierarchical and asymmetrical world
military order, facilitating intervention in the global South based
on liberal understandings of the arms trade and associated issues
of conflict, development and human rights. As a consequence, their
actions contribute to the construction of the South as a site of
Northern benevolence and intervention, a stark contrast to NGOs'
self-image and widespread reputation as progressive actors. In
exposing the contradictions inherent in NGOs engagement with the
arms trade, Stavrianakis argues forcefully for a change of approach
that can avoid such damaging outcomes.
