The theory and practice of arms control seemed to have its heyday
during the height of the Cold War, with its focus on the East-West
conflict and nuclear arms. In the past twenty years, both arms
technologies and various practices aimed at their control have
continued to develop, but scholarly thinking has not kept up. This
volume seeks to redress this scholarly neglect of the range of
issues associated with the control of the means of violence, by
asking the question: what does arms control mean in the 21st
Century? In asking this question, the volume examines issues
surrounding sovereignty, geopolitics, nuclear disarmament,
securitization of space, technological developments, human rights,
the clearance of landmines, the regulation of small arms and the
control of the black market for arms and nuclear secrets. The book
discusses terrorism with reference to the case of the suicide
attacks in Beirut in 1983 and how the Obama administration is
orientating its posture on nuclear arms. This book was published as
a special issue of Contemporary Security Policy.
