This collection of essays examines how confidence-building measures (CBMs) have fared in three different regions - South Asia, the Middle East and the Southern Cone of Latin America. Each region has implemented specific 'tools' from the CBM toolbox with varying degrees of success. The essays clarify how prevailing political conditions can either facilitate or confound confidence-building efforts, and argue that domestic factors play a prominent role in determining the success or failure of CBMs.
