Conventional Arms Transfers to Developing Nations, 1988-1995
Abstract
The following are extracts from an unclassified report of conventional arms transfers to developing nations (and developed nations as well) as published under the above title by the Library of Congress on 15 August 1996. The selections included herein begin with a discussion of major research findings regarding the dollar value of both arms transfer agreements and arms deliveries to the developing countries from 1988 through 1995. These findings are all cross-referenced to comparative data tables which are presented following the textual material. Special attention is given to the roles of the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China as arms suppliers, and to identification of the leading Third World arms recipient nations. The report concludes with a listing of the type and quantity of weapons delivered to developing nations by major arms suppliers in the 1988-1995 time period.
