Excessive military spending reduces the available financial
reserves for health, education, and other human needs. For poor
countries, it increases poverty, unemployment, and destitution. It
also strengthens dictatorial tendencies in politics and acts
against democratic values. If we want to achieve peace, eliminate
poverty, decrease inequality, and achieve social justice, we should
devote all our energies to reducing military spending and using the
released resources for economic development. For that, we need a
concerted effort to encourage disarmament. This new volume provides
reflections and insights from leading public figures and activists
who oppose military expenditure in any form. Many of the
contributions to this volume were presented as speeches at the
'Disarm! For a Climate of Peace' meeting held in Berlin in 2016,
organized by the International Peace Bureau. The volume also
includes additional research-oriented chapters to complement the
transcripts from the International Peace Bureau meeting.
