Abstract
The effectiveness of the CoCom successor regime to limit the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction will depend on the adoption of clear and comprehensive export control lists and thorough consistent implementation and enforcement by all its members. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the export control systems of the major supplier countries, since the regime will operate on the basis of “national discretion’—allowing each country to decide for itself how to implement and enforce its own export control system. This article compares the export control systems of Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Japan as case studies and emphasizes the disparities among these systems that could undermine the multilateral nonproliferation regime.
