( June 2003, 223 pages) Edited by Tamar Gabelnick, former director of the Arms Sales Monitoring Project at the Federation of American Scientists, and Rachel Stohl, senior analyst at the Center for Defense Information.
Challenging Conventional Wisdom examines the growing momentum to overhaul the arms export control system. It describes special governmental support for the weapons industry; probes the justifications for major changes to the export system; examines the potential risks associated with these changes; and provides suggestions to strengthen the export control system. The book provides sound, factual research and analysis so that there can finally be an honest, comprehensive debate on this critical issue.
