Overview

This annually-updated study provides comprehensive data on the status of arms conversion worldwide. It contains policy discussion on six key issues in the worldwide reduction in armaments: the reallocation of financial resources; the reorientation of defence research and development; industrial conversion; demobilization and reintegration of personnel; base closures and redevelopment; and the alternative use or disposal of surplus weapons. The contributors describe the location, amount and trend of reductions and assess the costs and benefits of conversion. They quantify the effects of conversion, and identify to what extent resources freed from military use have been redirected to civilian use.
