Weapons of Mass Destruction: Prospects for Proliferation

The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has continued to give cause for concern even after the ending of the Cold War. This book analyzes how the prospects for proliferation have changed in the 1990s, particularly in light of the Gulf War and the UN inspections of Iraq. It examines the new pattern of incentives and disincentives for proliferation, the utility of these weapons at state and sub-state levels and their implications for arms control and international security.
