Podcast: Andrew Feinstein Discusses the Corrosive Effect of the Global Arms Trade on Democracy

Andrew Feinstein worked on his latest book, The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, while he was a fellow at the Open Society Foundation in New York, thus it is fitting that the US launch of the book was hosted by the foundation.

At the launch, Stephen Hubbell, senior public affairs officer for the OSF, said that they were very grateful to have had Feinstein as a fellow, because he taught them much about the corrosive effect of the international arms trade on democracy and the rule of law. Feinstein was joined in conversation by Kahti Austin, executive director of the Conflict Awareness Project, and Jeff Abramson, coordinator of the Control Arms Secretariat.

In the following podcast they discuss collusion among politicians, weapons makers, arms dealers and the military. Feinstein also mentions The Shadow World website, where documents on the arms trade, of use to legislators and grassroots activists, will continually be made available.
