Sunken treaties : naval arms control between the wars

A critique of arms control theory that attempts to make it more relevant to the multilateral political world of the post-Cold War period. This text argues that due to a near-exclusive focus on the behaviour of the superpowers and on nuclear technology, the arms control process has been constrained.
