The field of arms control as a profession and an area of scholarly inquiry is just beginning to emerge in China. No single organization has more than a handful of knowledgeable individuals in this field, most of whom are either over 60 or under 40 years in age. The young professionals all speak English; many have studied in the United States or visit often. One reason for the limited supply of experts is clearly the absence of training programs, curriculum, and open source information; universities can offer courses in US or Russian security policy, but have difficulty offering similar courses in Chinese security policy, partly because there are few texts or primary source materials on the subject. The supply of courses and teaching materials is beginning to expand, however, and interest in arms control research is spreading to organizations not previously engaged in this field.
