Editorial Reviews

Review

Overall the SIPRI Yearbook 2009 is highly recommended to readers who wish to acquire basic knowledge and quantative data on recent developments, including international crises and peace agreements; they will find here a useful survey which does not only focus upon state actors but also assesses critically the role of non-state actors in the international arena.
