About the product

The end of the Cold War and the easing of East-West tensions have created a unique opportunity for global disarmament. This volume examines world trends in military spending, explores possible arms reduction scenarios and considers their impacts on the world economy, with particular emphasis on third world countries. It discusses the complex relations between military expenditures, conversion programmes, development, demilitarization and world trends in military spending of the 1980s and 1990s. Its analysis of post-cold War arms reduction will be of immediate interest to political scientists, economists, peace researchers and policy makers among others.
