Arms Control: History, Theory, and Policy has just been published by Praeger Security International, an imprint of ABC-Clio. The two-volume work contains thirty full-length essays by twenty-nine different authors including some of the most noteworthy experts in the field. There are also thirteen biographical sketches of individuals who have made significant contributions to disarmament and arms control efforts, from Bertha von Suttner to Thomas C. Schelling and Jody Williams.
Among the essays are "Strategic Arms Control since World War II" by Jeff Larsen, "NGOs, Social Movements, and Arms Control" by Jeff Knopf, "Israel, Iran, and the Arms Control Paradox in the Middle East" by Brent Talbot, and "Dilemmas of Arms Control and Cybersecurity" by Chris Demchak. My own contributions are an introduction entitled "Arms Control's Third Era" and an essay on "Arms Control and International Law." My co-editor Paul Viotti contributed essays entitled "A Template for Understanding Arms Control" and "Arms Control and European Security During the Cold War."
