Abstract

The end of the cold war led to a precipitous drop in the world arms trade. The real volume of the arms trade reached a peak in 1984, fell for two years, rose in 1987, and then declined by over two-thirds up to 1993. World arms sales agreements also declined substantially from a peak of $69.8 billion in 1985 to $38.0 billion (US ACDA, 1995). However, from 1992 to 1993 arms sales agreements rose in nominal terms.
