This edited volume explores the relationship between the
accelerating process of globalization and the proliferation of
Weapons of Mass Destruction, which is increasingly seen as the
pre-eminent threat to international security. The proliferation of
Weapons of Mass Destruction has traditionally been seen as a
function of the 'security dilemma' in the state-based international
system. But the advent of the nuclear supply network pieced
together by the Pakistani scientist A. Q. Khan represented a
departure from this model, involving a variety of organizations not
directly connected to a state. This volume assembles an
international group of experts in order to assess the relationship
between proliferation and globalization to ascertain how
contemporary communication, transportation and financial networks
are facilitating or constraining trade in dangerous contraband. The
book ultimately seeks to determine whether globalization is
fundamentally altering the nature of the proliferation problem,
particularly the threat that Weapons of Mass Destruction might fall
into the hands of terrorists. This book will be of much interest to
students of nuclear proliferation, international security,
terrorism and IR in general.
