Andrew Feinstein, author of The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, will be speaking about corruption in the arms trade

Andrew Feinstein is a former South African politician and was elected an ANC member of parliament in South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994. He resigned in 2001 in protest at the ANC government's refusal to allow an unfettered investigation into a £5bn arms deal that was tainted by allegations of high-level corruption.

 

Feinstein will speak from his experience and expertise of corruption in the global arms trade, addressing the formal government-to-government trade in arms, the shadow world of illicit weapons dealing, and the shocking and inextricable links between the two.
