Overview
The Carter Administration established an arms transfer restraint policy known as PD-13. Barely two years later the PD-13 policy had for the most part been abandoned and arms sales levels were creeping back up towards Nixon-era levels. Why, then, did the Carter Administration's conventional arms transfer restraint policy fail? What can be learnt from that failure? Using the theoretical lens of the implementation approach, this book examines the origins, context, development and fate of the Administration's conventional arms transfer restraint policy.Editorials

Examines the Carter Administration's conventional arms transfer restraint policy from the implementation perspective. This approach, which focuses on the impact of policy makers, implementing agents, and targets on policy outcomes, is used here to allow the policy and its execution to be examined against a set of criteria for successful implementation. Using this lens, the volume examines the origins, content, and fate of Presidential Directive 13 (PD-13). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
