Analogy between the cooperative and competitive behaviour of large commercial organisations and that shown by large powerful states in the acquisition of arms. Based on the extensive body of knowledge of how commercial enterprises operate, this book proposes explanations for the instability of the arms race and of arms control behaviour. Highlights the importance of the bargaining and negotiating processes which preceed formal arms control agreements.
