Disarmament in an Age of Militarism

"This book fills important conceptual and knowledge gaps in how we think of disarmament, recasting it as a set of practices rather than a normative goal and investigating for the first time how it can work in reality. A must read for academics and practitioners dedicated to a more secure world." —Charli Carpenter, University of Massachusetts–Amherst

"At a time when the arms control approach developed during the Cold War appears dead, this volume makes a compelling case for reconsidering disarmament.... It will be essential reading for anyone with an open mind about finding new approaches to reducing the dangers associated with violent conflict." —Jeffrey W. Knopf, Middlebury Institute of International Studies
