Abstract

Abstract : For the last two years, the Clinton administration has debated the need for tighter restraints on conventional arms transfers, during which time the United States has solidified its position as the world's number one arms exporter. This paper discusses the reasons why the United States has become the leading arms exporter in the 1990's, the pros and cons of greater restraint, and the complexities of the domestic and international environment that shape conventional arms policy. This essay concludes that the Clinton administration made the correct decision this February by opting for continuation of an arms transfer policy that is based on case-by-case review and against unilateral restraint.
