STILL THE CENTURY OF OVERKILL? GEBUNDEN

Contrary to ill-founded expectations  the end of Cold War did not eliminate the threat of
weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Although we have likely escaped the danger of a nuclear
Armageddon  the presence and proliferation of WMD continue to pose a serious threat to today's
global security. Today  WMD and their delivery vehicles are still perceived by many countries
as necessary or highly desirable weapons for a variety of reasons  including as a deterrent
against security threats  as a force equalizer to compensate conventional military capabilities
as prestige and status enhancers  and for bolstering regime security. The aim of this volume is
to analyze some of the key issues which concern the presence and proliferation of WMD in the
post-Cold War international system  and thereby advance understanding on such a critical and 
unfortunately  still very topical problem.
