(Text)
Focusing on Argentina's venta de armas case of illicit arms transfer to the Balkans and Ecuador in the 1990s, addressing similar cases such as Vladimiro Montesino's involvement in the triangulation weapons from Jordan to Peru and the Colombian FARC guerrilla during the last years of Alberto Fujimori's administration, and expanding the inquiry to Agha Khan's global network and its role in the spread of nuclear technology in violation of the non-proliferation regime, this book explores (1) the general question of direct and indirect connections of states with illicit transactions in the post-Cold War, with a special attention to arms transfers; (2) the reaction of the United States, as the remaining unique superpower, to the behavior of states associated with global illicit transactions, especially when they involve security-sensitive cases; and (3) the general security implications. The study explores and builds on the concept of the "courtesan role" of the state to propose a framework of analysis defined as "courtesan politics" as an input in the field of IR Theory and Security Studies.
