The Small Arms Survey 2005 is dedicated to exploring issues surrounding armed
conflict, including the sourcing of weapons to conflict areas, weapons use, conflict
deaths, and post-conflict disarmament initiatives.

This edition also provides an overview of small arms ammunition issues as well as
new and updated information on small arms production, stockpiles, transfers, and
international measures. It also presents two case studies: one exploring the concept
of 'gun culture' in Kosovo, the other focusing on the Central African Republic. In
addition, this volume surveys representations of small arms and armed violence in
contemporary art.

The Small Arms Survey is recognised as the principal international source of
impartial and reliable information on all aspects of small arms. Its blend of
information and analysis makes it an indispensable resource for policy-makers,
government officials, and non-governmental organisations.

Readership: Scholars and students of Strategic Studies, Defence Strategy,
International Relations, policy-makers and researchers, journalists and activists. [Source: CRIN]
