Introduction to the Arms Trade

In the first episode of the CAAT Podcast series, we introduce the UK's arms trade. What arms does the UK produce? Who do UK companies sell arms to? And what is the role of the government in the arms trade? Joining us to introduce these issues are two leading academics: David Wearing, who is working on a book about UK-Saudi-Gulf relations, and Anna Stavrianakis, author of 'Taking aim at the arms trade, NGOs, global civil society and the world military order'. As with all our contributors, their opinions are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of Campaign Against Arms Trade.
