This important volume tackles the potential problems of
international military disarmament. Distinguished scholars across
several disciplines discuss possible negative economic and social
consequences, including unemployment, conversion costs, and the
related hampered growth of research and development, associated
with the conversion from a military industrial economy to a
civilian complex. The authors present techniques for managing
sectoral and regional economic imbalances and conclude that
disarmament would ultimately release resources for foreign aid to
close the gap between the world's haves and have-nots.
Divided into three parts (Models of Disarmament and Conflict
Analysis, Economic Conversion, and Management of Peace), this
volume addresses specific topics such as techniques of management
conflict, factors affecting military expenditures, new prospects
for an East-West relationship, American strategic policy and NATO,
defense expenditure and economic conversion, Third World arms
production, and regional conflict in the wake of superpower
convergence. These analyses and discussions will be of particular
interest to scholars of Peace Studies, Political Science,
Economics, Sociology, and Military Studies.
