The Politics of Positive Incentives in Arms Control (Studies in International Relations (Columbia, S.C.).)

Five Swiss and one American scholar of international relations and political science question whether or not it is sensible to buy cooperation in arms control from critical states by offering them money, technology, know-how, or other goodies. Combining social science theory with empirical studies, they examine seven explicit deals, analyzing in detail the transfer of two light water reactors and oil to North Korea and of considerable resources to Ukraine.
