CONVERSION - in the meantime the term for the process of
converting arms industry into industrial production of
non-military goods - is becoming a key subject in the

These Proceedings contain all important presentations of an
international Conference in Dortmund in 1992. Speakers were
well known experts from economy, politics, science and
