Product Description
Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland are known for their strictly neutral foreign policies, but each is also involved in significant arms sales around the globe. How do these neutral governments resolve this dilemma between policy and practice? What restrictions do they place on arms sales? What are the prospects for alternatives in neutral arms sales? Comparing and contrasting these nations' declared policies with their actual sales of arms abroad, Hagelin demonstrates that, although they share political neutrality, they do not have a common pattern of arms sales. In fact, none of these states has implemented a truly restrictive foreign military sales policy. Hagelin concludes that a nation's formal policy is far less important than its informal attitude toward neutrality in determining foreign arms sales. ... Read more

The book arose from debates in Nigeria's academic circles in the late 1970s on Nigeria's foreign policy under the two military regimes that preceded the second republic, with special emphasis on the question of whether Nigeria's foreign policy under the Muhammed/Obasanjo regime represented a continuation of or change from that of its predecessor, the Gowon regime. ...

Product Description
This book explains the extent to which economic, geopolitical, and human rights considerations influenced U.S. foreign aid during the Reagan and Bush administrations. It is the first study to include domestic determinants of foreign aid in its model. It is also the first study to employ longitudinal, pooled cross-section item-series analyses. The work concludes that two domestic factors: incremental budgeting and the "prestige press" were among the most important determinants of U.S. foreign aid during the two administrations. The work also shows the significance of a country's ideological orientation in relation to its military aid decisions. It reveals that the recipient country's economic needs were important in economic aid decisions. Human rights factors are shown as a significant influence on economic aid policies but a much weaker influence on military aid. The author solidly supports such conclusions with statistical analysis. His book is highly appropriate for undergraduate and graduate-level courses and seminars on American foreign policy, world politics, comparatrive foreign policy, international political economy, and American government. ...

Product Description
The papers in this collection were first presented at a conference on "Chinese Security Policy and the Future of Asia." The authors, each representing different countries and regions affected by the growth of Chinese power, were asked to address four major questions: (1) China's position in the present and future security environment of the given country or region; (2) principal sources of tension between China and the particular country or region; (3) prevailing opinion in the country or region toward China's efforts at military modernization; and (4) the principal political, security, and economic strategies for responding to China's emergent power and military role. The purpose was to reveal elements of commonality and difference in national strategies. ... Read more
