Arms trade, arms control, and security: Collective action issues

Author

Listed:
  • Todd Sandler

Abstract

This article puts forth collection action as a unifying theme for the conference essays on arms trade, control, and production. For each of these topics, collective action failures are related to group size and group composition considerations. Other issues are also examined including the manner in which individual contributions determine the overall level of the associated collective good - the so-called aggregation technology of public supply. Based on alternative aggregation technologies, the game-theoretic underpinnings of these arms issues are explored.
