Key concepts of strategic trade are introduced, including examples of strategic goods and their potential uses in weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and weapons systems, the interplay between the Harmonized System and strategic trade control regimes, and the data available for analysis in the field. Innovative, yet practical methodologies to analyze strategic trade cover the use of crime scripts, risk assessment indicators, mirror statistics, market share analysis, and transshipment and re-export analysis. There are also chapters on leading-edge techniques involving machine learning and network analysis that have shown promise in other areas of crime and illicit trade investigations. Each chapter provides step-by-step instructions on applying the technique, numerous case studies and examples, and discussions of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. This volume is designed to provide all types of analysts with practical pathways for understanding, detecting, and disrupting illicit procurement of materials and equipment needed to produce WMDs and advanced weapons.Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications,2363-9466Security, InternationalPolitics and warPolitical scienceInternational Security StudiesMilitary and Defence StudiesMethodology of Political ScienceSecurity, International.Politics and war.Political science.International Security Studies.Military and Defence Studies.Methodology of Political Science.382.021Nelson Christopher1261428MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910633938803321Methods of Strategic Trade Analysis2995257UNINA
