Editorial Reviews

'Globalisation of markets has complicated the control of precursor materials for WMD. This analysis of global export control arrangement for them, in particular whether they have moved beyond norm-building to implementation, is a valuable contribution to an important global security issue. Its advocacy of a single global export control mechanism is logical and well articulated though, as it acknowledges, difficult to achieve.' John Simpson, University of Southampton 'Overall, the book is well written. In approximately 250 pages, it provides an excellent background to the multilateral export control regimes and will provide the reader with all he/she needs to know about the basic rules of export control.' NATO Legal Gazette 'One of the most commendable attributes of this volume is the breadth of perspectives it offers. The individual contributors offer specific improvements that could be made to each of the regimes discussed and also to the beureaucratic frameworks of specific States.'
