The proliferation of advanced weapons to volatile regions of the
world has become a major issue in the post Cold War era. It was
thought that no Third World nation could ever pose a
technologically-based threat to the great powers by acquiring
advanced weaponry. But this has proved to be wrong. The Persian
Gulf War changed the worldwide perception of the spread of
ballistic missiles to countries like Iraq. Access to a new type of
weapon--cruise missiles--poses an even greater threat. With
technology that is accessible, affordable, and relatively simple to
produce, Third World countries could acquire highly accurate,
long-range cruise missile forces to escalate local conflicts and
threaten the forces and even the territories of the industrial
powers. This book is a warning to policymakers. It is not too late
to confront the realities of cruise missile proliferation and to
devise international responses that could contain the worst
possible consequences. Carus proposes a new regime of technology
controls, security-building measures, and conflict resolution that
need to be considered, and acted on, by policymakers and
international relations experts everywhere.
