the chances of war, Cassady B. Craft offers a balanced assessment
of the effect of arms transfers on war involvement and outcomes. He
considers correlations at the state and global level, supplier and
recipient relationships, and the extent of the relationship in the
perceptions of individual leaders.
This is the first study to examine the influence of arms transfers
on combined interstate and civil wars. Drawing on a variety of
theories and quantitative methods, including force-on-force
attrition models, it uses innovative techniques that have the
potential to change the way analysts weigh the impact of weapons
sales. This book will provide both analysts and policymakers with a
comprehensive examination of the various tradeoffs between weapons
sales and the probability of conflict.

security in the region. It takes into account the geopolitical
factors, Western and Russian involvement, and the interaction
between domestic and external pressures. Crossroads and Conflict

possibilities for future peace and prosperity in the region.
