A Criminological Biography of an Arms Dealer

A Criminological Biography of an Arms Dealer

For many the arms trade and its dealers are the root cause of regional wars and global terrorism. In both public and academic debates arms dealers are considered immoral as they profit from conflict due to their key position in the international arms trading business. Nevertheless there seems to be little to no interest in the personal lives of those actively involved. In his criminological biography of a licensed arms dealer Yarin Eski provides an in-depth interdisciplinary approach to and understanding of the global arms trade revealing a deep insider view placed in a wider sociocultural context. From early discussions about childhood and career choices to reflections on becoming and being an arms trader Eski offers a methodologically embedded approach and advances biographical writing in the field of Criminology. It is a unique and thought-provoking contribution to the fields of criminology ethnography sociology critical security studies policing studies war studies and international politics and offers an unparalleled insight from within. | A Criminological Biography of an Arms Dealer

French Arms Exports The Business of Sovereignty

French Arms Exports The Business of Sovereignty

Ever since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1958 France has believed its strategic independence to be predicated on self-sufficiency in modern weapons. In order to maintain the requisite defence-industrial base in the context of limited domestic orders successive governments have prioritised the export of French arms on a large scale. In this Adelphi book Lucie Béraud-Sudreau provides a detailed behind-the-scenes examination of the institutional arrangements that have underpinned France’s relatively liberal approach to arms sales over the years. The narrative begins during the Cold War when France offered customers an alternative to reliance on one of the superpowers for their arms purchases and then charts how the French arms-export system has responded to international political developments and dramatic changes in the global arms market. The book shows that in general France’s leaders and machinery of government have been resistant to the notion of restraining arms sales. It also looks to the future arguing that France now faces a dilemma over whether to maintain its traditional course or accept a greater degree of export restraint as part of closer armaments cooperation with European partners. | French Arms Exports The Business of Sovereignty

Militarization And The International Arms Race In Latin America

Militarization And The International Arms Race In Latin America

Military conflicts and dictatorships in Latin America are the main consequences of the increasingly autonomous role of the armed forces in the region asserts noted scholar Augusto Varas and international factors related to the expansion of weapon industries in the North and the increasing flow of financial resources to Latin America are accelerating the arms race. Varas discusses the historical function of the armed forces in local politics the new ideology of the national security doctrine and the process of conflict perception by the Latin American military. He also analyzes the inevitable relations between the arms race and the political role of the region's armed institutions. Using Chile as an example he places these factors in context and illustrates how political crisis can escalate into a regional arms race. He then concludes with a discussion of the links between prospects for democracy in the region and demilitarization and disarmament. | Militarization And The International Arms Race In Latin America

The Influence of British Arms An Analysis of British Military Intervention Since 1956

The Influence of British Arms An Analysis of British Military Intervention Since 1956

Which event better characterises British military interventions: the trauma of Suez or the triumph of the Falklands? This book first published in 1984 examines these engagements and those of the intervening period to provide a sober and considered response to this question. The issues raised are central to the debate concerning Britain’s defence capabilities and its role in world politics. The author argues that it is only under severely restricted conditions that Britain could reasonably expect a successful outcome from long-range military intervention. The constraints are not merely those of military capacity: public opinion also has its role to play. By analysing these conditions and the way they have influenced the outcomes of past interventions the author points the way to framing a practical and reasonable defence and foreign policy in the Third World. | The Influence of British Arms An Analysis of British Military Intervention Since 1956
