Shrouded in secrecy, output from the Chinese aviation industry was, until recently, largely unknown in the West. This first-ever book on Chinese military aircraft offers comprehensive insight into the Chinese aviation industry, including secret projects and China's aircraft in overseas service. Provides a full description of all aircraft types including the Shaanxi Y8, the Chengdu JF-17 (FC-1) light fighter, which is now entering service with the Pakistan Air Force, the Shenyang J-10, and the KJ-2000 AWACS aircraft based on the Il'yushin IL-76. Numerous color profiles and three-view drawings are also included, along with the logos of production enterprises and design institutions. Virtually every photograph is previously unpublished outside of China.

This paper discusses the preliminary perceptions and understandings of African countries on an arms trade treaty (ATT). Pursuant to the General Assembly Resolution 61/89, "Towards an arms trade treaty: establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional weapons", adopted in December 2006, a group of 28 governmental experts were appointed by the United Nations Secretary General to assess the feasibility, scope and parameters of a possible ATT. Experts from five African countries, namely South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria and Kenya, took part in the study. These countries' perceptions and understandings of an ATT will be discussed and analysed with the aim of highlighting the reservations and uncertainties that have been raised. The possible reasons for these reservations will also be discussed.
