Conventional Arms Transfers to Developing Nations 1990-1997
Abstract
The following are extracts from an unclassified report of conventional arms transfers to developing nations as published under the above title by the Library of Congress on 31 July 1998. (Macro data on worldwide arms transfer agreements and deliveries are also provided.) 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 1990 through 1997. 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 arms recipient nations in the developing world. The report concludes with a listing of the type and quantity of weapons delivered to developing nations by major arms suppliers in the 1990- 1997 time period.
