From Bosnia and Kosovo to Angola and Sierra Leone, illicit arms flows  have played a key role in areas of contemporary instability and  violence. Against this background, this volume brings together studies  of several key issues relating to this trade: the changing nature of  the illicit arms trade; the origins of the Iran-Contra affair; the  flow of illicit arms from post-communist Russia; the role of France in  arming the genocide in Rwanda; the question of the role of private  security companies in areas of instability; and the prospects of  controlling the illicit trade in small arms. This timely volume will  be essential reading for courses in Criminology, War and Peace  Studies, International Politics, and African and other Area Studies  which deal with arms trafficking and conflict issues.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 October 2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792365938\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803553697932,"sku":"9780792365938","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792365938.jpg?v=1781755712","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792365938","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
