Summary

Almost overnight, the massive military-industrial assets of the Soviet Union came under the jurisdiction of fifteen states instead of one established government.Arms on the Marketis about the challenges facing the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union in controlling and monitoring military-related exports. These states inherited the weapons, materials and technology of the Soviet Union, but not the ability to control their borders or the movement of sensitive items. The Center for International Trade and Security at the University of Georgia has been central to the development of nonproliferation export control measures. This book examines and compares export control development throughout the former Soviet Union and explores the various theoretical approaches involved.
