This book studies how the arms trade has continued to receive
generous state subsidies, along with less direct forms of financial
and intellectual support from academia in the UK. It examines the
ways in which arms dealing has contributed to the violation of
human rights in the Middle East, North Africa, South America,
Indochina and other regions of intense conflict, and in doing so,
reveals how the industry sells a particular image of itself to the
public. The volume: Extensively covers the arms trade and its
impact across the world. Shows how the UK arms trade has developed
research, investment and consultancy links with universities,
museums and other public institutions. Discusses the future of the
arms trade and explores alternatives in terms of job opportunities,
economic growth and academic research criteria. A major
intervention in international politics, this volume will be of
great interest to scholars and researchers of military and
strategic studies, international relations, human rights and the
social sciences in general. It will also be of interest to policy
analysts and defence professionals.
