Traditional paradigms for controlling the spread of arms are "showing signs of wear" in the post-Cold War transition era according to Larsen, a strategic policy analyst-consultant, who distinguishes arms control from disarmament in introducing 20 papers focusing on regional perspectives, and threats ranging from conventional weapons to cyberspace and biological and chemical weapons. The mostly US authors discuss the history and changing US and international contexts of, and approaches to, arms control; successes and failures; and prospects for future agreements. Appends a chronology of arms control since 1945, and a summary of relevant treaties, agreements, and organizations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
