This is the annual volume in a continuing Unesco series that addresses a range of issues in the field of peace and conflict resolution. The contributors present a variety of viewpoints on the post-Cold War future and on the linking of disarmament to development issues.

The need for constructive solutions to worldwide conflict and violence has stimulated some extremely productive research leading both to a clearer understanding of conflict and to the development of new modes of intervention.

The second section deals with the effects of the arms race, the arms trade, and technology transfer in developing countries, where armaments are proliferating at a higher rate than in industrially advanced countries.
