The second volume of the Handbook of Defense Economics addresses defense needs, practices, threats, and policies in the modern era of globalization. This new era concerns the enhanced cross-border flows of all kinds (e.g., capital and labor flows, revolutionary rhetoric, guerrillas, and terrorists) including the spillovers of benefits and costs associated with public goods and transnational externalities (i.e., uncompensated interdependencies affecting two or more nations). These ever-increasing flows mean that military armaments and armies are less able to keep out security threats. Thus, novel defense and security barriers are needed to protect borders that are porous to terrorists, pollutants, political upheavals, and conflicts. Even increased trade and financial flows imply novel security challenges and defenses. Globalization also underscores the importance of a new set of institutions (e.g., the European Union and global governance networks) and agents (e.g., nongovernmental organizations and partnerships). This volume addresses the security challenges in this age of globalization, where conflicts involve novel tactics, new technologies, asymmetric warfare, different venues, and frightening weapons. Volume 2 contains topics not covered in volume 1 – i.e., civil wars, peacekeeping, economic sanctions, the econometrics of arms races, conversion, peace economics, and the interface of trade, peace, and democracy. Volume 2 also revisits topics from volume 1, where there has been a significant advancement of knowledge – i.e., conflict analysis, terrorism, arms races, arms trade, military manpower, and arms industries. All of the main securities concerns of today are analyzed. Chapters are written by the leading contributors in the topic areas. *Up-to-date surveys on the pressing defense issues: theoretical, empirical and policy issues.*Coverage of theoretical and empirical studies of terrorism.*Contributions by the leading researchers in the field of defense economics.

The terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 on the United States provoked a significant shift in thinking about peace and security, and much has since been written about new security threats and challenges. This collection of essays revisits some of the more traditional concepts of peace and security that remain valid and pertinent today, despite having ceded much of the limelight to the major security preoccupations of the current era: international terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, rogue states and related phenomena. The book covers numerous salient topics, from arms production, monitoring and control, to disarmament and conversion through to peacekeeping and conflict prevention. The contributions differ in scope, form and analysis ranging from historical and philosophical to contemporary and political perspectives and approaches to peace and security.

Die weltweiten Militarausgaben sind seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges vor 10 Jahren um mehr als ein Drittel gesunken. Enorme finanzielle Mittel fur zivile Verwendungen wurden frei und nahrten so die Hoffnung auf eine direkte Friedensdividende fur nachhaltige und soziale Entwicklung.Der Sammelband beleuchtet Mythen und Realitaten um diese Friedensdividende. Wer hat vom Ruckgang der Verteidigungsausgaben profitiert? Wie hoch sind die Einsparungen, wie wurden sie in unterschiedlichen Landern verwendet oder verschwanden sie durch die Folgen der Abrustung?In acht Landerstudien (USA, Sudafrika, Deutschland, Rualand, Guatemala, Nigeria, China und Pakistan) analysieren die Autoren dieses Spannungsfeld von direkten Verbindungen zwischen niedrigeren Militarausgaben und positiven sozio-okonomischen Entwicklungen einerseits und der Komplexitat politischer und okonomischer Prozesse in einem langeren Zeitrahmen andererseits. Deutlich wird dabei vor allem auch die Relevanz landerspezifischer Besonderheiten.Der Band wird herausgegeben vom Internationalen Konversionszentrum Bonn (BICC), das sich vor allem durch sein seit 1999 im Nomos Verlag erscheinendes Jahrbuch conversion survey einen Namen gemacht hat.

Marek Thee was a Jewish Polish journalist, scholar, and activist. This book tells his life from narrowly escaping death in the Holocaust to exile in Palestine, where he became attached to the Polish consular service. On his return to Poland in 1950, he worked for the Foreign Ministry and later for the Polish Institute for International Affairs. He served as Head of the Polish delegation to the International Control Commission in Indochina in the late 1950s. In 1968 he lost his job and his Polish citizenship in a nationalistic and antisemitic campaign. He was able to move to Norway where he worked for twenty years at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), editing an international quarterly journal, Bulletin of Peace Proposals and doing research on the arms race. In retirement, he continued his research and writing at the Norwegian Human Rights Institute. The book vividly relates the drama of his life in Poland, Palestine, Indochina, and Norway. This is an open access book.
