This survey updates information on key issues of conversion from military to civilian use of resources worldwide. It provides sets of data including an index of disarmament and figures on employment in the defence industry. In the 1997 edition, the emphasis is laid on the generation, scrapping, destruction and transfer of weapon stocks which have been declared surplus because of arms control agreements, unilateral disarmament, or the end of armed conflicts. Analysis, empirical data, and policy discussions deal with heavy and light conventional arms, as well as chemical warfare agents and nuclear weapons.
