Summary:
"This volume seeks to start a revival of the field of disarmament law scholarship. Law is a fundamental component of disarmament. Yet, today, most perspectives on the wide range of disarmament issues that exist come primarily from political, diplomatic and public advocacy angles. The aim of this book is to revive the field of disarmament law, building on earlier, important and still relevant, contributions by international lawyers to the subject. The collection brings together international scholars on various aspects of disarmament. The contributions range across a variety of weapons-types, adopt different approaches - doctrinal, historical and critical - to the issues being discussed and taken together, constitute a snapshot of the ideas, concerns and issues that currently occupy disarmament scholars"--Provided by publisher.
