abstract="Conversion of defence industries is neither simple in concept nor execution. While many wish to paint a rosy future and extol the costless benefits, pragma-tists stress the real and nominal disincentives to converting. Regarding the process in Russia, we outline what is involved and show that long-term obstacles remain. Conversion is not a state of nature, nor can it be imposed by domestic or international actors. Rather, it is a process, evolving from the new realities of the post-Cold War world.<p />",
