Reintroducing disarmament and cooperative security to the toolbox of 21st century leaders / [electronic resource] Ed. by Dan Plesch, Kevin Miletic, Tariq Rauf ; [contributors: Maritza Chan ...] , Text - Solna : SIPRI, 2017 - 57 p.
SIP1723 E-book "January 2017". While the climate for any form of arms control and disarmament may appear bleak, keeping on doing business as usual will not improve the situation. It is rare to find a case where the militarization of international relations produces a more stable environment and more cooperative partners. Thus, it is essential to re-establish the linkages between security/stability and disarmament/arms control. It is especially important for current leaders to get reacquainted with arms control and disarmament. Leaders will be better equipped to face contemporary security challenges with such proven instruments in their toolbox. With this in mind, the Centre for International Studies & Diplomacy at SOAS University of London and SIPRI have developed a joint publication on disarmament and cooperative security. The rationale for this volume is to oppose conventional thinking that equates national security with the modernization and build-up of military capabilities; and to rehabilitate disarmament and arms control mechanisms as a cornerstone of national security and international stability.
