Globalization and the Kalashnikov: Public–Private Networks in the Trafficking and Control of Small Arms
This article will show how trends of globalization have transformed both the proliferation of and efforts to control small arms and light weapons (SALW). We first examine how the distribution of small arms has become more diffused, moving away from a state‐centric model of ‘arms transfers’ to circulations of SALW through outsourced networks comprising a myriad of public and private actors. We then show how the post‐Cold War international environm…
Serbia: Choosing Between Profit and Security
Serbia still has a large surplus on its hands, numbering some 789,000 to 1.2 million military firearms alone as of 2004. While some progress has been made toward surplus destruction, the prospects for further destruction are far from certain. Belgrade and foreign funders face difficult choices, choices that must be mediated through nationalist politics, military reform, and economic incentives. While over 121,000 surplus weapons have been destroy…
Ukraine: Coping with Post-Soviet Legacies
Ukraine hosts the world's largest foreign-funded SALW and ammunition destruction program. Designed to eliminate 133,000 tons of ammunition, 1,531,664 small arms and 1,000 Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems (MANPADS), the NATO-sponsored Ukraine destruction program is far larger than any other internationally sponsored small arms destruction project ever undertaken. Even if fully implemented, however, the NATO-Ukraine project will eliminate only abou…
Smoking Guns: European Cigarette Smuggling in the 1990’s
This article concerns European cigarette smuggling over the past decade and examines the actors, structures and relationships which facilitated the illicit trade. It discusses the central role played by actors not traditionally associated with organised crime, such as multi-national tobacco companies, Swiss banks and the state security agencies of various Balkan states. It demonstrates how domestic legislation in Switzerland and instability in th…
A political economy of ethnic conflict ethno‐nationalism and organised crime
The failure of many conflict resolution interventions in the 1990s suggests the need for new research approaches into the dynamics of internal conflict. This article attempts to identify adversarial forces facing those charged with conflict resolution in Bosnia‐Herzegovina. It argues that the adversary is not a series of individuals as is often supposed, but rather a politico‐economic structure which has survived the end of open conflict. Focus i…
