SIPRI YEARBOOK 1993

How have the arms control events of 1992 responded to the unprecedented opportunities for building new security arrangements? The end of the cold war, with the dismantling of the Soviet Union and other totalitarian regimes in Central and Eastern Europe, opened new prospects but also gave rise to new threats and challenges. Important questions concerning developments in the military sector must be asked. How should we deal with these new challenges? What are the prospects for a more stable international order? The twenty-fourth edition of the SIPRI Yearbook presents detailed information on arms and arms control issues. The Yearbooks attract world-wide attention and are used by governments, arms control negotiators, United Nations delegations, parliaments, scholars, students, the media, and citizens as unique and indispensable reference works.

The SIPRI Yearbook 1993 highlights the links between the environment and international security and emerging armed conflicts, and describes the new UN peace-making and peace-keeping efforts. It analyses the new security arrangements for Europe and the implementation of the recent sweeping nuclear and conventional arms reductuion treaties. It examines the post-Soviet threats to security and reports on the work of the UN Special Commission on Iraq. It documents recent developments in biotechnology and genetic engineering, and US military technology. The Yearbook continues SIPRI's review of the latest developments in nuclear weapons, world military expenditure, the international arms trade and arms production, chemical and biological weapons, major armed conflicts in 1992 and conventional arms control in Europe, and presents SIPRI's annual chronology of events related to important world security issues.

What reviewers say about the SIPRI Yearbook

• 'The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's Yearbooks remain one of the basic and vital sources for specialists in defence, foreign policy or international affairs ... the most recent issue is especially interesting given the new global context'. - Jane's Intelligence Review, UK
• '[a] worthy pattern to be followed by other research centres dealing with contemporary international relations'. - Sprawy Miedzynarodowe, Poland
• 'Over a period of time SIPRI has become one of the most reliable sources of authentic information on the somewhat secretive discipline of Armaments and Disarmament'. - Pakistan Army Journal, Pakistan
• 'L'Annuario del SIPRI riesce con il consuelo rigore scientifico a districarsi fra dati ed eventi che riflettono in pieno questo stato confusionale e ancora una volta e uno strumento di analisi e di lavoro prezioso per gli esperti come per i non addetti ai lavori'. - Rivista di Studi Politici Internazionali, Italy
