Arms Sales and Development: The Role of the Peace Movement

Tony Kempster

Chapter 17 in Arming the South, 2002, pp 405-416 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Peace campaigning is essentially about persuading those in positions of power (the decision-makers) to seek an end to existing conflict through justice and reconciliation, and to remove the reasons for potential future conflict. My remit here is to discuss the role of the peace movement in persuading decision-makers to ban (or, at least, severely restrict) arm sales to developing countries. I would like to draw particular attention to the information needs of campaigners.
