Security and development matter: they often involve issues of life
and death and they determine the allocation of truly staggering
amounts of the world's resources. Particularly since the start of
the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there has been momentum in policy
circles to merge the issues of security and development to attempt
to end conflicts, create durable peace, strengthen failing states,
and promote the conditions necessary for people to lead healthier
and more prosperous lives. In many ways this blending of security
and development agendas seems admirable and designed to produce
positive outcomes all around. However, it is often the case that
the two concepts in combination do not receive equal weight, with
security issues getting priority over development concerns. This is
not desirable and actually undermines security in the longer term.
Moreover, there are major challenges in practice when security
practitioners and development practitioners are asked to agree on
priorities and work together. "Security and Development in Global
Politics" illuminates the common points of interest but also the
significant differences between security and development agendas
and approaches to problem solving. With insightful chapter pairings
- each written by a development expert and a security analyst - the
book explores seven core international issues: aid, humanitarian
assistance, governance, health, poverty, trade and resources, and
demography. Using this comparative structure, the book effectively
assesses the extent to which there really is a nexus between
security and development and, most importantly, whether the link
should be encouraged or resisted.
Why did the Carter Administration's conventional arms transfer
restraint policy fail? What can be learnt from that failure? Using
the theoretical lens of the implementation approach this book
examines the origins, context, development and fate of the
Administration's conventional arms transfer restraint policy.
How did Britain's most prominent armaments firms, Armstrongs and
Vickers, build their businesses and sell armaments in Britain and
overseas from 1855 to 1955? Joanna Spear presents a comparative
analysis of these firms and considers the relationships they built
with the British Government and foreign states. She reveals how the
firms developed and utilized independent domestic strategies and
foreign policies against the backdrop of imperial expansion and the
two world wars. Using extensive new research, this study examines
the challenges the two firms faced in making domestic and
international sales including the British Government's commitment
to laissez faire policies, prejudices within the British elite
against those in trade, and departmental resistance to dealing with
private firms. It shows the suite of strategies and tactics that
the firms developed to overcome these obstacles to selling arms at
home and abroad and how they built enduring relationships with
states in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East.
