Yet the proliferation of these 'real' weapons of mass destruction is poorly understood, and in this ground-breaking work on the subject, Mike Bourne argues that, far from operating as an amorphous, globalised, illicit market, the spread of small arms is complexly structured and highly dynamic. Examining the arming of conflicts across the globe, this book uncovers and analyses the construction and interaction of these processes at global, regional and conflict levels, exploring how these shape the arming patterns of both state and nonstate actors.
