Download or read book The Sulu Arms Market written by Lino Miani and published by Institute of Southeast Asian. This book was released on 2011 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in a remote area long a historical buffer zone between competing political entities, the Sulu Arms Market is an illicit market of a typical form in that it is both a source and a destination for less-than-legal guns. What makes the Sulu market unique is its longevity which is measured in centuries. In modern times, guns from the area supply conflicts and crime from Japan to Sri Lanka to Papua New Guinea and beyond; and in turn the world pours guns and ammunition into Mindanao, the Maluku (Molucca) Islands, and to a lesser extent, Malaysia and the rest of the Philippines. Like most black arms pipelines, the Sulu Arms Market is intertwined with piracy, terrorism, and the traffic of other illicit commodities. Criminal gangs, communists, Moro independence groups, and Islamic militants are all major players in the market, making it a security problem for at least five member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

This book was released on 1994 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the prevailing climate of uncertainty and apprehension about Southeast Asia's security outlook in the post-Cold War era, this study looks at the question of whether there is an impending arms race in the region. It examines the factors behind the recent trends towards increased defence spending and force modernisation in countries in the region and what efforts should and can be undertaken to ensure that this build-up does not become a threat to regional security and stability.

Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the international community has initiated programmes and policies to redress the worldwide availability and circulation of small arms and light weapons. These efforts are principally aimed at curbing the illicit transfer and retransfer of small arms and light weapons. This study evaluates small arms control as it relates to non-state armed groups in Southeast Asia. It is guided by the research question, 'to what extent does the current small arms control architecture affect how armed groups in Southeast Asia obtain, retain and surrender their weapons?' The core findings of the study are that there are three defining features of the illicit small arms proliferation pattern in Southeast Asia, augmented by two enduring themes. Combined, these features and themes contribute to a more nuanced appreciation of the illicit small arms proliferation and control dynamic in the region. The first feature is that the current illicit diffusion dynamic in Southeast Asia is that of a 'mature' market, which has characteristics that the current control architecture does not address. This mature small arms market is distinguished by a tendency for armed groups to obtain weapons from sources that are mostly internal to the conflict zone. The second defining feature is that the disarmament of armed groups appears to have a number of intangible dimensions. Appreciating the importance of these intangible dimensions becomes particularly apparent when looking at the third feature of the small arms proliferation and control dynamic, which is the characteristics of demand for small arms by armed groups in Southeast Asia. Running parallel to these three features are two sub-themes. The first is termed 'sufficiency'. The numbers of groups, and more particularly of combatants and weapons in this region, do not appear to be particularly large. Given the duration of many conflicts in this region however, there is clearly a sufficiency of each. Sufficiency also underscores the credibility of a disarmament process. The second sub-theme is the creation and nurturing of paramilitaries and private armies, which may be growing. These findings are reflective of, but not necessarily restricted to, the examples studied in this region. The study suggests that the current control measures do not fully capture the proliferation dynamic as it appears in Southeast Asia at the present time. It argues that reconceptualising the current small arms proliferation and control paradigm may prove beneficial. In particular, an extended small arms control architecture may capture the spectrum of small arms proliferation that is particularly evident in Southeast Asia. This extended architecture involves a deeper and broader approach to the control of small arms and light weapons.

This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first publishd in 2002. This work uses the concept of the "arms dynamic" to identify and assess the various factors which influenced arms acquisitions of Southeast Asian states during the second Cold War period from 1979 to 1989, providing an essential basis for understanding contemporary developments. The book provides a comprehensive and systematic explanation of the reasons for arms purchases in SE Asia during the 1980s and aims to fill a gap in the literature by fully exploring arms procurement processes in the region prior to the end of the Cold War.

Download or read book Arming Asia written by Richard Bitzinger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bitzinger examines the phenomenon of attempted self-reliance in arms production within Asia, and assesses the extent of success in balancing this independence with the growing requirements of next-generation weapons systems. He analyzes China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. The overarching question in the book is whether self-reliance is a strategically viable solution for development and manufacturing of arms. Given the ever-changing dynamics and increasing demand for sophisticated next-generation weaponry, will these countries be able to individually sustain their domestic defense industries and constantly update their technologies? This is the first book to analyze arms production from a regional perspective.

Download or read book Postinternationalism and Small Arms Control written by Damien Rogers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though impacts generated by the widespread availability and ongoing use of small arms and light weapons have not reached a magnitude sufficient to radically reorder contemporary world affairs, awareness of the nature and extent of these impacts has compelled some international actors to take decisive action. Damien Rogers examines how the international community has responded to the challenge of controlling small arms and light weapons since the early 1990s. Using a postinternationalist analytic framework, he specifically focuses on the maturing relationships between particular actors of world affairs and the nascent interconnectivity between their strategies for, and approaches toward, controlling these weapons. Furthermore, the book identifies ways in which the captains of small arms industry, arms brokers and chief users of these weapons are able to mitigate, resist or elude the intended effects of those responses.
