  From the Middle East to the Far East, proliferation issues are of increasing concern as suspicious grow that more states are working covertly to acquire weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. This book focuses on operation and management of the series of control regimes, covering nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and ballistic missiles, that have been put in place to restrict such proliferation. This study analyzes how these regimes work today and how they relate to the Co-ordinating Committee on Multilateral Controls originally established to restrict the flow of defence related technology to the Soviet Union and its allies. It then explores how these regimes could be strengthened and better co-ordinated.
