Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trond heim This
book could hardly have happened but for the end of the Cold War.
The decline of the East-West conflict has opened up the arena for
increased attention to other lines of conflict, in Europe and at
the global level. Environmental disruption, not a new phenomenon by
any means, is a chief beneficiary of the shift in priorities in the
public debate. The Scientific and Environmental Affairs Divi sion
of NATO has moved with the times and has defined environmental
security as one of its priority areas for cooperation with Central
and Eastern Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union. This
book is the main output of an Advanced Research Workshop (ARW),
held in Bolkesjl/l, Norway, 12-16 June 1996. I would like to
acknowledge the personal support of L. Veiga da Cunha, Director of
the Priority Area on Environmental Security. Research on these
issues is now very much a collaborative effort across former lines
of division in Europe. NATO encourages, indeed requires, that this
be reflected in the composition of the participants, as well as the
organizing committee. This meeting was organized by a group of five
people from five different countries: Lothar Brock (Germany), Nils
Petter Gleditsch (Norway), Thomas Homer-Dixon (Canada), Renat
Perelet (Co-Director, Russia), and Evan Vlachos (USA)."

The papers collected in this volume demonstrate how different kinds
of analytical approach can be used to anticipate the economic
repercussions of systematic reduction of military spending. This
volume will be of interest to economists; scholars in peace
studies, international relations and such like; and officials of
national governments and international bodies dealing with
disarmament issues and with economic restructuring.
