Books by Unidir United Nations Institute For Disarmament Research

This book, first published in 1991, is the cumulative result of a long period of research by qualified experts in an attempt to analyse the legal and scientific problems of arriving at definitions in the task of preventing an arms race in outer space.

This book, first published in 1990, examines the theories on 'nonoffensive' or 'nonprovocative' defence that arose at the end of the Cold War. The debate around the theories is analysed, including the claims that nonoffensive defence would lead to conventional stability, security at lower levels of armaments, and peace and stability.
