Call for Papers - Unseen Proliferation: Modern Technology and Instability
Paul T. Mitchell - Centre for Foreign Policy Studies - Dalhousie University
Dear fellow list members;
I am a research fellow at Dalhousie University's Centre for Foreign Policy. I am conducting a project on the problems that modern conventional weapons technology presents for the analysis of weapons proliferation and regional stability. I am sure we are all aware that most current regional balances are extremely limited in their assessments of technology and its impacts on regional stability. To give a good example, most tables of naval weaponry are limited to hull counts of major surface combatants with little detail on weapons installed on board or the level of modernity of those weapons.
This spring, the CFPS will produce, as part of its ongoing schedule of publications, a book entitled "Unseen Proliferation: Modern Technology and Instability". The book will examine the problems outlined above. Currently, we have a number of papers that are committed to this publication including ones on naval weapon systems, small arms, technological development and possibly one on India and the RMA. We are, however interested in proposals on the role of software and proliferation, space systems and the third world/newly industrialising states, and other related issues. Are stipulations are that papers must address aspects of weapon modernisation that are generally overlooked by current methods of proliferation analysis and that have distinct impacts for regional instability.
Proposals can be sent via private e-mail to ptmitche@is.dal.ca or to

Papers should be 8000-10,000 words in length and should be ready by the beginning of June.
Thank you for your attention.
